My guess is that you have a big view state, because the mb.scrollable keep all data on the same page, and usually this data are saved on viewstate.

To test that just check the source code of your rendered html to see if viewstate are real huge.

Then if it is just change the viewstate options on web.config. You can cut it in parts automatically on web.config. You can also find code on web that compress the viewstate. You can also disable the viewstate for your control and check if you do not have other problems and you do not needed.

Hope this help.
