Not sure, but I'd try playing with larger values of mouse-scroll-delay:


+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
mouse-scroll-delay is a variable defined in `mouse.el'.
Its value is 0.25


Documentation:
*The pause between scroll steps caused by mouse drags, in seconds.
If you drag the mouse beyond the edge of a window, Emacs scrolls the
window to bring the text beyond that edge into view, with a delay of
this many seconds between scroll steps.  Scrolling stops when you move
the mouse back into the window, or release the button.
This variable's value may be non-integral.
Setting this to zero causes Emacs to scroll as fast as it can.

You can customize this variable.
