It might be that your reading speed is different from mine. I read at a "verbal" speed--basically reading out loud in my head. As a result, it takes me a few minutes to read a page. I realize that "speed readers" don't read one word at a time, but much faster, so a page of text takes only tens of seconds.
It also might be a difference in learning styles. On the visual/verbal scale, I'm decidedly visual, so the differences between UK and US spellings are more noticable.
Also, I'm an above-average speller (probably in the top 10%), so maybe that's why I notice it more.
