I disagree (obviously because I implemented it).  It was way too jerky  
before - you could go from no text to 200+ lines of text in an  
instant.  You go from no scrollbar to a huge scrollbar in a  
millisecond.  "Startling" and/or "jarring" is probably the best word  
to describe that transition.  This is the same reason I used the  
effect for parts lists and expanding subfolders.

If the effect appears jerky now, maybe the params need to be changed -  
such as setting the duration to a longer timespan  Additional time  
should not make that much a difference since a person is going to read  
from top to bottom when expanding, and they can begin to read the top  
text while the effect completes.
