In my case scrolling is generally smooth as silk - and for sure, isn't worst after installing (and configuring) scrollbars anywhere. BTW, it's also worth to install smallest possible modification, that disables scrollbars - we aren't using then anymore, so it's a gain of few additional pixels for web content (just like in microB - unfortunately, I wasn't able to find extension, that hides scrollbars but show them during scrolling only...)

I'm also sure, that using dedicated partition helps performance *a much* - and if I remember correctly, someone in this thread already proved this by measurements.

As it was some time since last discussion, for people that may be confused a little - best way to open hidden bars in my LXDE config, is to tap just a little *outside* screen. Due to our resistive screen's characteristic, for LXDE it perfectly simulates a motion to the edge of screen. This way, we can use such big, finger/stylus friendly icons (or even bigger, if someone feel it fancy).
