I went to the EnWiki article for United States, with the New Wikitext Editor. I went to preview. Vertical scrolling with the mouse wheel is slower, uncomfortably jumpy, less responsive. Dragging the browser scroll bar really emphasizes how bad the frame rate is. Dragging the scroll bar is visually painful. It's impossible to visually follow where you're moving or how fast.
Chrome version check:
Version 55.0.2883.87 m
Google Chrome is up to date.
Vertical scrolling in Firefox seems fine, about equal to vertical scrolling performance when previewing in the normal wikitext editor.
