jQuery parallax effect and lagging

I have a page with a header and a content. When scrolling down, the header menu sticks to the top while the content has a kind of "parallax" effect (it moves up faster than the header does, which is what I need).

My small jQuery script works well for the "parallax" effect but when the scroll down is at its max, the content starts to stutter/lag. The script seems to keep on trying to move the content up continuously (at least with an Apple Magic Mouse), which creates this ungraceful side effect.

How can I prevent that ?

PS: I exaggerated the parallax effect in the JSFiddle in order to clearly show the stuttering issue.

PPS: make sure you have a scrollable page when testing (small browser height), otherwise, the effect and issue won't happen, of course.

//sticky header menu

$(window).scroll(function() {
  if ($(document).scrollTop() > 92) {
    if (!$('.fixed').length) {
      $('.menu').addClass('fixed');
    }
  } else {
    if ($('.fixed').length) {
      $('.menu').removeClass('fixed');
    }
  }
});

// Parallax of content on scroll

var iCurScrollPos = 0;
$(window).scroll(function() {
    iCurScrollPos = $(this).scrollTop();
    $('.content').css('margin-top', -iCurScrollPos * 1.2 + 'px')
});
body {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0px;
  padding: 0px;
  background: #ccc;
}

header {
  position: relative;
  width: 100%;
  background: #fff;
  z-index: 1;
  height: 146px;
}

.void {
  position: relative;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100px;
}

.menu {
  position: relative;
  width: 100%;
  height: 54px;
  background: #aaa;
}

.fixed {
  position: fixed;
  left: 0px;
  top: 0px;
}

img {
  width: 100%
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script> 

<header>
  <div class="void"></div>
  <nav class="menu"></nav>
</header> 

<div class="content">
