I used to listen/watch everything at 1.5x-2x speed but found a similar result. Now I only increase the speed if it's information I only need to process once (e.g the news) but not remember later (lectures, tutorials etc).

I've been doing that lately (1.5x-2x), but taking notes, and making sure to work on any exercises provided after the lecture. I need notes for retention even at 1x, so it doesn't feel like extra work.
