Not necessarily.
If all it did was disable the external input interrupts while keeping the input filtering active, you could decide the rate of absorption but still be much faster than conventional reading.
(Think of how you might have experienced having a dream that took seemingly hours but in reality only a few minutes passed. The brain can work fast if it's left to itself and doesn't constantly have to query external input resources.)
Anyway, this reminds me of this story:
