Continuous scrolling pause on hover

I am using the following settings in order to achieve continuous scrolling:

dots: false, arrows: false, slidesToShow: 1, slidesToScroll: 1, centerMode: false, draggable: true, speed: 7000, autoplay: true, autoplaySpeed: 0, vertical: false, infinite: true, pauseOnHover: true, cssEase: 'linear',

It works great apart from one little issue. It does not pause on hover. Well, it does but with a huge delay. Was wondering if there is a way of making the pause on hover work perfectly.
