As you drag down, position the pointer near the sheet tabs, and the
scrolling will be fairly slow.
If you move the pointer lower, near the status bar, the scrolling will
be faster.

One way to avoid the problem is to select the first cell.
Then, use the scroll bar to move down the sheet until you can see the
last cell that you want to select
Hold the Shift key, and click on the last cell

In MS Excel, when trying to select rows which is more than a screen full, the
scrolling should go MUCH MUCH slower so that you can control how much you
select, rather than suddenly selecting the 10,000 rows.
