I'm not sure. How about instant page-down?

I don't think the use-cases for 'instant' are very strong at all with or
without snap-points. As I've expressed before on this list, I think the
spreadsheet behavior that's usually cited as the use-case for 'instant' is
a tradition that I don't know how to justify from UX principles, so I don't
know how to extrapolate that behavior to new situations like fling gestures.
