I've did as you've suggested. When scrolling buffer of 1405 lines from
bottom to the top (while emacs is unresponsive) mwheel-scroll function
seems to be called about ~1351 times. Single fast flick over touchpad
produces ~40 calls to mwheel-scroll.
Adding (sit-for 0) at the start of the function doesn't have any effect.

1405 lines. I'm testing this on bundled lisp-mode.el
