That web page only loads the first paragraph for me but there is a huge advantage to being able to read very fast with comprehension for certain material - the gauntlet of standardized tests American kids go through is much easier for both verbal and math skills tests (essentially most of them - because they have to use some words for most problems) and a lot of tests going through university level because one has time to go through an entire test once, answer all the questions, and go back and double and triple check your answers and evaluate multiple choice answers several times. At least when I took those tests a generation ago, the time allotment is overly generous if you can read fast. I read slow when reading for pleasure or learning something.
