Using the tmux-scroll-copy-mode plugin should help here.

Once you've installed it, just add set -g @scroll-speed-num-lines-per-scroll 5 to your .tmux.conf.

scroll-speed-num-lines-per-scroll - Sets the number of lines to scroll per mouse wheel scroll event. The default option is 3, which was the scroll speed in tmux 2.0. Larger numbers scroll faster. To slow down scrolling slower than one line per wheel click, set the value to a decimal between 0.0 and 1.0. With a decimal value, only that fraction of wheel events will take effect. The value should be >= 0. Examples:

"3" (default) - Scroll three lines per every mouse wheel click. "1" - One line per mouse wheel scroll click (smoothest). "0.5" - Scroll one line only on every other mouse wheel scroll click. "0.25" - Scroll one line only on every fourth mouse wheel scroll click.
