Speed reading

I have been skeptical of this but slowly (ironically) I begin to believe that through the use of "chuncking" or "subvocalization" people can read with incredible speeds while retainng comprehension. one can only imagine the practical uses of such a skill, not limited to side-show freak in the circus. but if I can read faster than others it stands to reason, hat by various means othrers could read faster yet. Someone once told me that no matter how good ou are there is always someone better, this makes sense and validates the possibility of speed reading.
