Is there any way to inhibit the "smart" scrolling emacs attempts to
do?  I was just paging through a program which had some large chunks
of similiar text, and it took ~1.5 seconds scrolling at one point,
while making parts of the window move up & down in an amusing way.
(Normally this takes ~.2 second for a full page advance)

I have also noticed this problem in gnus, where it will scroll the
upper part of the window up, causing a blit of the whole window, and
then write in the new subject line in the top window over the mode
line, and then write a new mode line and display the new text over the
lower 2/3s of the window.
