Is there a way around this at all?

I'm afraid not.

Calamity is there anything that in enabling throttling will take away from the main goal of what groovymame is trying to achieve, i know using a LCD display is already limiting groovymame but any adverse effect using throttling would have?

You're attempting the squaring of the circle.
You have to face the fact that the only possible way to have a game running at 100% with smooth scrolling is to get the videocard refresh at the same rate.
Usual MAME's CPU based throttling method ruins any attempt of smooth scrolling because it overlaps the videocard's refresh even if you enable syncrefresh or triplebuffer. That's why GroovyMAME needs to disable 'throttle' internally (regardless your ini setup) in order to achieve smooth scrolling.
GroovyMAME's triplebuffer achieves the same that you get when pressing F10, but much better because the emulation doesn't suffer from any lag. You remove tearing, but at the cost of producing choppy scroll.
So believe me, unless you get your videocard/screen refresh at the proper rate, that's the best you can get.

That's the W7 registry issue, it's always been there, needs to be fixed at some point.
