Hello Jason,
Could you try setting RadGridView.GroupRenderMode property to Flat?
GroupRenderMode Flat was introduced with Q2 2013 as a completely new logic for group rendering. The result was faster scrolling and very good performance, but it fixed a lot of other issues reproducible with the old Nested mode. This is way we recommend using the new rendering logic.
