Improving "Auto Scroll"... (Well, ...actually, burying it down to history)

I often hear Firefox/IE dudes complaining about Opera’s scrolling speed. Below is the NY Times page at my browser’s window. I middle click somewhere(red dot) in the document, preferably not in the center of the document, but this is not an issue anyway:
Instead of seeing the familiar autoscroll arrows we see a complete page thumbnail, popping up in the clicked location. The thumbnail is visible until I left the middle button of my mouse.
Now If I move the mouse downwards holding the middle button....
....the page scrolls together. Just making a very little distance in my mouse pad, the page scrolls amazingly fast right were I wanted. Scrolling speed is not a problem because we know were to stop thanks to the thumbnail.
