Sometimes I like watching videos precisely because it's slower: the delivery has nuance; I can ruminate a bit; things stick in my memory. A good speaker can really amplify the meaning and memorability of information.

Really, it depends on the situation. Speed isn't always the most important thing.

"A good speaker can really amplify the meaning and memorability of information." I think a lot of the TED talks prove this point!

(still - i'd love to see transcripts)
