I'm a bit like this, I think. My raw reading speed is decent. But when I'm reading, I'm constantly stopping to flip back and check something, or to stop and think through the implications of what I've just read, or, when the internet is to hand, to look up some related information. As a result, my net reading speed is diabolical. But to me, this isn't about thinking slowly, it's about thinking thoroughly. I think I pick things up from texts that faster readers skate right over. Of course, I haven't actually measured any of this, so it's probably just comforting nonsense.
