  The value is chosen so the page speed is exactly what it was before (with 
approximation), I made a simple calculation, increasing how often the page is 
moved and decreasing by how much
  
  For what I can see, the normal scrolling speed is not really defined 
somewhere .. ? And even if it was, why really is the need to match the normal 
scrolling with this type of scrolling, since this scrolling comes from a 
totally different context and "usage pattern"? You don't really want the page 
to fly away when selecting, and maybe you like a very fast scroll wheel.
  
  I think that maybe the `damping` value should be tweaked to what seems more 
natural in this specific context, I chose to keep it with a value that matches 
the past behavior so people don't scream at me
