When scrolling through a text post, the size and progress rate of the scroll bar varies dramatically depending on the length of the current comment. In the example below, the post body is very long, resulting in a tiny scroll bar with slow progress. Once you’re down into the comments, the scroll bar is much larger and progresses faster.

The grip size would vary as it scrolled past different sized content on Boost for Reddit too!
