Turn Off Hovers on Scroll

Sometimes hover effects can cause redraws and repaints and whatnot that take time and reduce performance. As you scroll down a page, you’re likely inadvertently triggering hover events that have no meaning while you scroll. Turning them off (via CSS’s pointer-events) is a clever way to reclaim some scrolling performance.
