Having learned a new way of reading to benefit from this font, what happens to your reading speed with regular fonts?

Also, what is the fascination with speed?!

It's not about speed for me. Reading faster forces me to focus, while my mind wanders off when I read slowly.

I read fast and then stop to think about it.
