Disable smooth scrolling

Time Required: 1 Minute, 5 Minutes, 10 Minutes, 15 Minutes

Notes: Disabling smooth scrolling on your computer will give you that extra little boost in performance. Must be familiar with the Windows registry.

Warnings: This is dangerous if you do not know what you are doing. I do not take responsibility for anything that you do to your computer that harms it or any files on it in any way.
