It would seem to me that the first thing EMACS wants to do is
turn off smooth scrolling.  EMACS has no "scroll" operation.
Changes EMACS makes to the screen are supposed to appear instantaneous.
You are not expected to try to read the screen during updates, so slowing
the scroll down or making it smooth so you can see is not applicable.
Scroll is only done because it is a cheap block move on most terminals.
