Mintty does not support smooth scrolling.

On of the features you might want to use for your situation, though, is make sure "jump-scroll" is turned on if it is not. Otherwise any terminal program might take a very long time to catch up. It really is an expensive operation to scroll text on a remote machine. Early HW terminals and PC screens used special hardware to perform scrolling at fast speed. Performing a smooth scroll via bit-moves of memory would be VERY painful on older machines or current machines using a slow-enough remote interface.
Try running xterm locally and make sure TERM is set correctly on the remote machine and I think you may be happierwith the performance and "feel"...
A good suggestion anyway.However, if you provide instructions on how to reproduce the issue, I may find time to check out whether there is some improvement potential.
