Description

I find scrollZoom speed painfully slow. Making this configurable may mean propagating a scale factor to some other gl modules or something, but then again it might just be a simple scalar. Maybe scrollZoomSpeed?

(Side note: it's not clear to me why scrollZoom is camelCased and belongs to config instead of to layout.)

I don't think it's entirely straightforward to get the speed itself just right across browsers and system configs, but maybe this is something: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5527601/normalizing-mousewheel-speed-across-browsers#answer-30134826

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the scrollZoom configuration and browser wheel-speed handling, then determine how a user-facing speed factor should behave across browsers. Done means scrollZoom speed is configurable with consistent behavior and appropriate test coverage.
