When you scroll in the Select node of SAS Marketing Automation, the scroll is slow when there are many data items in the information map. The general rule is to limit the number of data items in the information map to 2,000 or fewer. There are cases when having 2,000 data items can cause scrolling to be slower, making it appear as if the scroll bar moves suddenly.
