I love reading good dialogues (or a really good monologue), and I just can't imagine enjoying reading them at a speed at which they couldn't possibly be spoken aloud.

Me too! I've taken the tests, and can read fast with good comprehension. But it isn't fun for me - i enjoy hearing the characters, savouring the language, etc. Reading isn't an IQ test, and there isn't a 'correct' method on how to enjoy yourself - if someone is reading for pleasure, they should just relax and not worry about speed.
