By disabling smooth scrolling (available in settings). Feels much snappier to me

But then you don't have smooth scrolling.

Enabling apz kinetic scrolling is another approach. That cuts the lag by about 90%, getting it much closer to chrome.

Exactly. This is what fixed this issue for me as well. What I haven't been able to fix is that new windows open rather slowly.

I'm so used to scrolling by keypress (i.e. any of the vim-like extensions), with smooth scrolling disabled and a higher scroll step, that I just recently noticed that this reduces resource usage/heat.
