Web browsing at 4K is a surprisingly expensive task in itself. I own a Surface Book and one of my biggest gripes (aside from the broken firmware) is that the integrated GPU is too weak to drive browser rendering fast enough to keep up with the touch screen on the vast majority of websites* . This gets a lot worse when hooked up to an actual external 4k display - the scrolling latency is pretty unpleasant.
* It seems that they optimized Edge to have really good scrolling performance, but ff/chrome/opera all have serious scrolling issues.
- jschwartzi 10y agoI have the same problem globally in Linux. On dual 4k monitors, scrolling isn't an animation so much as it's a slow progression of frames in a slideshow.
- majewsky 10y agoI notice the same with a maximized Firefox on 4K, but it became much snappier after I deactivated smooth scrolling in about:config. For fullscreen videos in Firefox, it helps to suspend compositing (Alt+Shift+F12 in KWin).

- copperx 10y agoWhy is it smooth under OS X?
- lostmsu 10y agoSeems to be Linux-only problem. Care to check for driver updates, and that GPU rendering is actually enabled?
- microcolonel 10y agoFWIW, I run 2d desktop apps and the web browser at 2560x1440@144Hz just fine on my NUC6i7KYK. I use a non-composited desktop with DRI3 turned on. Tear-free in chromium (since it does internal compositing buffering) and perfectly smooth.
