Found the "smooth scrolling" option in chrome://flags and disabled it. I no longer see irritating waves on the screen :-).
You beat me to it. Also, some browsers have a use hardware acceleration option, that may be best on or off, depending on your hardware.
For me, the smooth option did give a smooth, but very slow scroll. It was like trying to slide something that's stuck to ice. Terrible for when you need to skim through a page to find something, or when your reading speed is much faster than the scroll.
