Description

**mapbox-gl-js version**: v0.51.0

**browser**: Chrome 70.0.3538.77 (64-Bit) on Linux

### Steps to Trigger Behavior

Use the mousewheel for zooming in and out.

### Link to Demonstration

https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/simple-map/ with `hash: true`

### Expected Behavior

Zooming in and out happens faster, at least 0.25 zoom level per mousewheel "click".

### Actual Behavior

Only 0.08 - 0.09 zoom level per mousewheel "click".

Tried it on 2 different machines.

Research direction

Reproduce the behavior with the linked simple-map example using hash: true in Chrome on Linux, then trace the mousewheel zoom handling in the mapbox-gl-js source. Done means mousewheel clicks produce the expected faster zoom increments without breaking zoom behavior in other browsers or platforms.
