If you're reading a document on a computer where you have to scroll to find the footnotes and then scroll back up to find where you were again, you can instead open another copy of the document in a new tab/window, and leave it at the footnotes.
If you're reading a pdf with multiple pages, zooming out to show the entire page (or even displaying two pages at once if your display is wide enough) enables super-fast scrolling through the document. I have seen people not do this and it was painful to watch.
Also, some pdf readers (including adobe reader) have a "magnifying glass" feature, which achieves what you described without having to open the document a second time.
Oh god, the scrolling, the cumative man-hours I've wasted. How did I never see this before.
Likewise (this has just now occurred to me), if you're participating in a discussion on Slate Star Codex you might want to open the page twice, and use the copy with the green borders intact to locate the new comments and the other copy to reply to them.
