Thanks, I managed to reproduce the issue with this. It only happens with thumbnails visible, though, which suggests that evince is doing something funny for the thumbnails view. I'll also check out Scintilla later.

I doubt it's document-related, as it "worked" with the first three PDFs
I tried with.  Anyway, I can reproduce with e.g.
http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG14/www/docs/n1570.pdf   Note however
that you have to scroll *aggressively*, meaning I'm was assaulting my
mouse wheel for several seconds, or take the scrollbar grip and shake it
quick.  Also it's less directly visible with Evince itself which seems
to have a very cheap scroll draw (yet you probably notice something),
but other apps gets slow-slow (for example gedit's gear menu takes like
5s to open).

I also just tried to enable Metacity's compositing as I was using it
without, and I can reproduce with and without compositing.

you need to set the GTK3 make variable to 1:

        $ cd gtk
        $ make GTK3=1
