I'm testing the React Native for Windows app using the new architecture (Windows App SDK). I noticed that the scroll wheel behavior is significantly different.

In the new architecture (Windows App SDK), scrolling with a mouse wheel feels much less responsive. The number of lines scrolled per wheel notch is considerably smaller compared to both the React Native Windows Gallery app and the official WinUI 3 Gallery app. As a result, scrolling through content feels sluggish and requires much more effort from the user.

This issue makes basic interaction in list views and scrollable content frustrating.

Any helps? Thanks!
