Interesting. I did not notice this because this feature only manifests
itself on really tall images. The images that are about screen height
still feel jumpy.

I have experimented a bit using a very tall image and about a
screen-tall image from emacs -Q and recorded screencasts:

1. Scrolling a very tall image with C-n/C-p https://0x0.st/HibG.mkv
   - Emacs behaves nicely, except at the beginning/end of the image
   - At the beginning the image suddenly jumps half a screen
     May this behaviour be somehow customized?
   - At the end, the image disappears very quickly. Maybe something do
     to with end of buffer.

2. Scrolling a very tall image with mouse https://0x0.st/Hibk.mkv
   - Unexpectedly, most of the tall image is skipped upon mouse scroll.
     Bug?

3. Scrolling a near-screen tall image with C-n/C-p https://0x0.st/Hibn.mkv
   - Note how the image goes across the screen in just a few "jumps"
     (C-n strokes). This is the commonly observed behaviour in the images
     I often deal with. Probably something to do with what initial
     half-screen jump in (1).

     I think that jumping half screen at the beginning/end of the image
     is too drastic, especially for images near as tall as screen
     height. It would help if this behaviour is fixed or made
     customizable.

For future reference, I did the following in the screencasts:
1. Add several screens of newlines in *scratch* buffer
2. Insert one of the attached images in the middle of the buffer via
   (with-silent-modifications (insert-sliced-image (create-image "~/Downloads/drawing.svg")))
3. M-<
4. Scroll with mouse or with C-n/C-p
