Here's a fast way to scroll in a large file.
Just position mouse in the window you wish to scroll,
and shift right click.  The file in that window will
scroll to a position in the file that is the same 
percentage as the mouse's position horizontally in the
window in question.

Btw, you may not be able to put it in your .emacs.
Just put the define-key's or global-set-mouse's in some
other function and call it at the eval prompt after you
start up emacs.

X version:
==========

(define-key mouse-map x-button-s-right 'x-col-jump)

(defun x-col-jump (arg)
  "Will move cursor to pos in buffer as a mouse % of window width.
   Will work for any window mouse is in, not just current-buffer."
  (let ((OriginallySelectedWindow (selected-window))
        (line ())
        (old-perc ())) 
    (unwind-protect 
      (progn (x-mouse-set-point arg)
        (let* ((wd  (1- (window-width)))
               (size (buffer-size))
               (perc (perc (- (car arg) (car (window-edges))) wd))
               (new-pos (perc-of perc size)))
           (goto-char new-pos)
           (setq old-perc perc line (what-line))))
      (select-window OriginallySelectedWindow))
      (message " %s = %s%s" line old-perc '%)))

Suntool version:
================

(global-set-mouse '(text shift right)  'mouse-fast-col-jump)

(defun mouse-fast-col-jump (w x y)
  (if (not (eq last-command 'mouse-fast-col-jump))
      (setq *column* (current-column)))
  (mouse-scroll-proportional w x y)
  (move-to-column *column*))
