For programs running in terminal (gnome-terminal) windows, the scroll 
wheel moves by 1/2 screen, so a larger window would scroll more 
lines.  It does not appear to be configurable (no setting seen in 
gconf).  You might try a different terminal program.

Here, gedit scrolls by about 4 lines.  It does not appear to be 
configurable (no setting seen in gconf).

I have not checked the source for either program.
