	The algorithm usually employed which gives the illusion of 
'fast scrolling' is to simply scroll by more than one line when you
get behind.  Since at this point the user wants to see lots of lines 
zip by anyway, the skipping by 2 or 3 (etc... ) lines is not apparent
to the user.  Thus, there is no need to resort to hardware hacks.
