Hmm. I tried scrolling a register page by arrow-buttons, page up/down,  
and dragging the thumb. The thumb lagged the mouse a bit, but I was  
able to scroll from one end to the other of a several-thousand-split  
register in less that a second. Is that the scrolling performance  
you're talking about? In the reconcile window, I see that the up/down  
arrows don't do anything at all. Is that what you mean? (I usually use  
the mouse in the reconcile window, so I don't have a baseline  
expectation here.)

Just to make sure you've got the Intel binary, could you run otool -hv  
on Gnucash-Intel.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash-bin?
It should say "i386" under the cputype. Thanks.
