I think it has to do with the internal struggle of wanting to read it and at the same time not wanting to end it either. I usually end up reading faster (whether actually or imagined). And I think, phew that was intense, so for good measure I skip back and read that scene, or part thereof, again. Then pause right after, get up, walk around for a bit, reflect on it, and go back reading. Doesn't happen with all action scenes, only the really big ones.
