Avi, I think there are some other aspects to the scrolling/paging debate
that have to be included here that would point towards paging:

1. It really all depends on the response time of the system
2. It also depends on whether or not the row/column headings are required by
the user. "Freezing panes" is my favorite feature in excel just for this
purpose. Remember we are talking about tasks, not about articles here.
3. "Longer" - if the user feels like the length of time is not a detriment
to their experience than length of time is irrelevant to which is better.
