Video is a high-bandwidth way of delivering information at a low bandwidth. But try watching tech videos at 1.5 speed, it makes them much more engaging. Also works for ponderous anime.

Hah! Ponderous anime. I remember watching some shows at 4x speed. I'm not sure whether it's anime that introduced me to sped up video, but subtitles are a great help when watching videos at faster than 1x speed.

Got any examples of ponderous anime? Lain? Akira? GITS?

  Dragonball. They sometimes charge up one attack over several episodes.

That's why I prefer youtube over the other services - you can speed it up. I'm not a native speaker, so 1.25 is the fastest I can understand at the moment.
