1350 calls during what time, approximately? less than a second?
I don't think Emacs can scroll so fast, one line at a time. Note that
when you scroll with the scroll-bar, Emacs doesn't call
scroll-up/down, it just goes to a suitably calculated buffer position.
Which is why scroll-bar scrolling is much faster. But I don't see how
we can do something similar with the mouse-wheel, since it doesn't
allow to calculate the buffer position to go to; Emacs needs to do
that calculation itself, and that what makes the scrolling so much
slower.

Which explains why it scrolls in one go: 1405 ≅ 1350.
So, once we've established that the touchpad injects 1-line scroll
requests at such a high rate, what else needs to be investigated here?
