In fact, I did not try it myself, but borrowed it from here:

Your .emacs looked correct, and I have read here or there that
mouse-wheel-progressive-speed did help in some cases, but maybe there
has been a misunderstanding on what you would like exactly.

Here is some further reading on this topic and closely related ones;
could you tell us if some of these solutions work for you, and if not,
what you would like precisely?
