You have to be kidding.  If it could, emacs should take the vt100 out
of smooth-scroll.  Certianly the fastest update will generally be to
repaint the entire screen than to wait for the scroll to happen.
Since emacs finds the fastest update, an accurate termcap would appear
to be broken because you would never see the scroll happen.  So you
would have to remove all forms of screen update, including
clear-screen, and force it to use scrolling regions.  But then it
will doubtless decide your terminal is too dumb to run emacs.  It
would probably be right.

Apologies in arrears for the nasty tone, if you have even gotten this
far.
