I'm a fairly slow reader (it takes me about 2 minutes per page when reading fiction). However, I did pretty well in university in the sciences. My reading speed wasn't a bottleneck when studying. I suppose it might be different for someone studying literature. So, yes, 'acceptable' is a very elastic term in these cases.
