How, exactly, did you do the scrolling? How did you stop the scrolling
at 1000 lines? Do you get this slowness on any elisp buffer, or is it a
particular one?

That is slow indeed.

Have you tried profiling this scrolling, yet? If not, I suggest you do,
with M-x profiler-start <CR> <CR>, running the scrolling, then M-x
profiler-report. In the report buffer, hit <CR> to get successively
deeper results.
This may well give you an idea where the slowness is happening.
