+As an alternative to setting @code{fast-but-imprecise-scrolling} you
+might prefer to enable jit-lock deferred fontification (@pxref{Font
+Lock}). To do this, customize @code{jit-lock-defer-time} to a small
+positive number such as 0.25, or even 0.1 if you type quickly. This
+gives you less jerky scrolling when you hold down @kbd{C-v}, but the
+window contents after any action which scrolls into a fresh portion of
+the buffer will be momentarily unfontified.
