    Looks like your whishes were heard
    Some earlier versions of HTML (in particular from HTML2 to HTML4) were based on SGML and used SGML parsing rules. However, few (if any) web browsers ever implemented true SGML parsing for HTML documents; the only user agents to strictly handle HTML as an SGML application have historically been validators. The resulting confusion â" with validators claiming documents to have one representation while widely deployed Web browsers interoperably implemented a different representation â" has wasted decades of productivity. This version of HTML thus returns to a non-SGML basis.

    Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
    or just add it.
    This completely removed the scrolling lag in firefox for me.
