Most vimeo videos nowadays are sent in html5 video tags. If you're reading HN, you're probably pretty comfortable in chrome's console. Just find the video element and adjust the `playbackSpeed` variable (default 1).

  One would expect at least a dozen browzer plugins which change these speeds. Ive never encountered the need - i run a slow netbook and never load the videos and I run a fast-ish laptop and occasionally am prepared to load videos.

  the parameter is `playbackRate`

yt-download and the full-featured video-player of your choice. Option to fast-forward, repeat, speed/slow, etc., from keyboard as well. Which rocks. Web video players suck. All of them. YouTube is horribly inconsistent across interfaces.

It's invaluable. Additionally, voice recognition to give a text transcript (as they do now for automated subtitles) would be even more useful to me, as I can read even faster than 2x spoken.
