On my friend new Mac, he scrolls from line #1 to line #100 using k in around 4 seconds.
On my Mac, it takes 10 seconds. Neither of us know what causes his MacVim scrolls that fast.
Any way that I can improve the speed of scrolling on my MacVim? I already enabled ttyfast and lazyredraw

You can make Vim scroll the text using the shifted up/down arrows by mapping Shift-Up to Ctrl-Y and Shift-Down to Ctrl-E. Shift-Down will then scroll down (like moving a scroll-bar down, or like moving a cursor at the bottom of a window down), and Shift-Up will then scroll up (like moving a scroll-bar up, etc).
The problem might be the difference in your keyboard settings instead of Vim. Try changing the Key Repeat setting in OS X' keyboard settings and see what happens. On my MacBook this setting affects the cursor movement speed when holding h, j, k or l.
As mentioned in comments some software such as KeyRemap4Macbook can override the system settings.
Also consider using commands ^U, ^D and G instead of hjkl when navigating around longer files.
