I think using speed reading techniques definitely sacrifices too much.

You can throw 1/3 of a bag of M&Ms away and wolf down what's left as fast as possible, but it doesn't equal taking the time to taste and savor the candy.

There's a podcast I heard recently about this very thing that some may find interesting. There's a transcript also, for those who'd rather not listen.
