2022 and the choppy scroll on MBP M1 chip is still here !

I have MBP M1 2020. I have this issue by the time, choppy scrolling. and after the latest update 12.1 the Mac freezes from time to time even while using a very basic workspace like just WhatsApp and safari with 3 tabs open for example, the mouse frees in colored circle for 6 to 10 seconds.

The scrolling thing becomes a real nightmare with 12.1 for example when you scroll in safari to the end of the page, gotta wait for seconds to scroll back to the top...

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.1

Aren't the M1 chips fast enough to scroll normal ?
