Why is programmatic scrolling so slow in IE9?

Using "window.scrollTo" or assigning "element.scrollLeft" is very fast, almost invisible in in IE8, but noticeable jerky in IE9. Tried turned off GPU acceleration and smooth scrolling - no luck.

Thank you for the prompt reply. But I do need to need to make it work in IE9 at least as fast as IE8, any idea how and what the difference is? Thanks.
