Okay, I understand what you're doing with your layout, so I'm just asking this to be thorough:
...with all the delay exceptions OFF, and acceleration set to 7... there's NO change in the scroll speed? On my comp, with similar settings, the list will start to scroll at it's usual slow speed, but after 3 or 4 games, it starts to ramp up in speed pretty significantly - I can get through my favorites list (100 games) in a few seconds. Are you really getting no change at all? Or are you just looking for an instantaneous change in the scrolling speed? I've never used MameWAH so I have no comparison...

Ahh that makes sense then... If you have to have your screeshots and marquess displaying 'on the fly using exeptions' then it will go slower:
:P I understand wht you doing but a way around it is you could go itnto the layout editor and set a generic background considering you have the video popping up over it anyway after 1000 ;)

OK I just tested this with a fresh MaLa install. I will post this in the Wiki Too
To make MaLa scroll fast straight away you need to have the following set
1) Options-Controller-Keyboard-Options (Key repeat set to ..say.. 10)
2) Options-Controller-Options (Use scrolling acceleration set to ....say...5)
3) Options-Gui-Options (Enable display delay and have no exceptions checkbox's ticked)
This should make MaLa Scroll very fast pretty much straight away...
If speed acceptable you can allow exceptions items to the display delay (Test individually)
The effect will vary depending on your PC speed.. Q) Why? A) Displaying things like snaps and videos will effect the scrolling speed. So delaying them from loading until you have been on a selected item for a while will speed things up

Unfortunately this will not work for me. Why? As described above, each time a game is selected, a snapshot appears...then a couple seconds later the animated preview starts. If I set NO EXCEPTIONS, the animated preview would simply run and the screenshot (actually titlescreen, but that is here nor there) wouldn't be displayed at all. I would, somehow, need to be able to set TWO delays... one delay for about 200ms, with no exceptions, then another delay at 1200ms which would then show my animated previews. ALSO, by setting no exceptions to a delay, menu navigation sound is delayed and it just doesn't sound right (the sounds would be delayed until after movement making it look/sound strange).

I mentioned this earlier. For some reason, setting the delay exception for that sound event doesn't affect the speed of scrolling, at least not on my setup. It does, however, stutter the sound event until you stay on one selection long enough for the whole sound to play.

(You'll see exception options to the display delay in GUI-->Optioins.) If you don't, you won't hear that event. Learned that one the hard way.

Dude, we're all going in circles with this. The only solution that's going to give you precisely what you're looking for is if swindus puts in individual delay options for display elements. That's it, end of story.
Sorry... :banghead:
