Is the Scintilla library really so inefficient? Because like I said, the only other editor I've tried that's as slow as Geany was SciTE, so it looks like it's Scintilla's fault...
There are a few things Geany does which makes scrolling slower, like trying to parse the current scope - although I did some optimization on that a while ago.
It might be partly how Scintilla is setup - can you try changing the following SciTE settings and see if there are performance improvements:
buffered.draw=1 #two.phase.draw=0
Probably these would be fastest set like this:
buffered.draw=0 two.phase.draw=0
If flickering is bad, try:
buffered.draw=1 two.phase.draw=0
If this helps, we could add prefs for these settings in Geany.
