But how this values helps you? If we roundup the accumulator on the "end 
phase" the scroll will be slow in the middle phase, no?

It is scrolled slow-slow because we get such notifications from native. 
I am still hope Apple will fix this.

That's a good question can we use scrollingDeltaX/Y instead and in the 
same time tweak the "scrollAmount" value. What is a "scrollAmount" means 
here? is it a pixels? If yes why we cannot post scrollingDeltaX/Y as a 
scrollAmount(and set wheelRotation as +-1)?
