For example a text I worked through with exercises to determine the cache performance of code snippets, ie: the total number of reads, the miss rate, ect. When I first did that chapter I'd just work through the exercises and move on. Then I'd forget everything a month later. The second time I explained the answer to myself like I was giving a lecture, after working through each exercise for example explaining spatial/temporal locality, stride-1 reference patterns that will be prefetched by the cpu, ect. That was about 2 years ago and I still remember that chapter. So slower at first, but you remember all the concepts which means you don't have to go back and re-do the material again which for me is 'faster learning'.
