That figures: the relevant code didn't see any significant changes in
the recent years.

I also think the impression that C-n/C-p (with scroll-conservatively)
are free of this problem is inaccurate.  They are a bit faster,
indeed, but in my unoptimized build I see the scroll taking almost the
same time in both cases, close to 1 sec.  I think OP's impression is
based on where each of these crosses the threshold of Emacs being able
to keep up with the repeated keystrokes, and that depends on both the
auto-repeat rate and the CPU power, so it is different on different
systems.  E.g., in an optimized build I see no stuttering with
scroll-down-line, either.

So I think there's no bug here we need to look into, and I'm therefore
closing this bug report.
