Windows 10: Comparing browser keyboard/mouse reaction times & screen update speeds

I work a lot with ~150 page Google documents. Just text, no pictures or anything special. I need the browser to handle that kind of documents as fast as possible. They load very slowly and scrolling through them is much slower and uglier than optimal. In the ideal situation we'd have like 100fps screen updates with perfectly smooth acceleration/deacceleration for scrolling (both Page Down/Up and mouse wheel). No latency at all when pressing Page Down for example and the acceleration would be very quick but still accelerating (because jumping without acceleration is confusing, difficult to follow).

I tested the main browsers and these are the results for me (Windows 10, i7-8700 running at full 4600 MHz, 64 GB DDR4-3466, GeForce 1080, tested with a 150 page Google document full of simple text):

• IE11 = fastest ~100ms scroll reaction with smoothish scroll
• Firefox = maybe ~110ms scroll reaction with smooth scroll
• Edge = maybe ~150ms scroll reaction with smoothish scroll
• Opera, Iron, Chrome (Chromium) = similar to Edge but scroll is quite jerky

So in this case, IE11 won for me.

Do you get the same results and what can I do to optimize Chrome's reaction time and scroll smoothness to the max?

I have already tried the Enable or Disable Smooth Scrolling in Google Chrome | Windows 10 Tutorials trick and installing a few smooth scroll extensions, none of it do ANYTHING. I can only completely disable scroll acceleration for certain pages but I have not been able to improve the speeds at all.
