I realised this some years back, after an advise that if you find reading hard, read faster. Don't spend too much time understanding each word and line. Good advise

That will only work if the author also rushed to write the piece. Understanding is more desirable than finishing a book.

I'd take issue with your first sentence. The most challenging task is to distill a difficult topic into something that can be quickly understood. That inevitably takes time. When I write rapidly and unreflectively I often make readers confused.
