I'm generally a pretty fast reader. I've never done any speed reading courses, but I gre up without a TV so I read a lot when I was young.
I can read at somewhere between 575 & 600 wpm with http://www.zapreader.com/ (I hadn't tried that before - interesting idea). That's not comfortable, and I need to concentrate to do it, but I suspect I'd still be getting close to 100% recall. I'm not a reading technique expert, but it seems to me that the zapreader software is specifically designed to stop people using skimming techniques, so if you can read at a good speed on that you are doing pretty well.
When I'm reading a novel I generally read at 1 minute per page. On average that's probably around 250 wpm, and I find that relaxing and easy.
