The rate of speed for rereading is faster for good readers than for poor readers, and the differences are such that one can distinguish a good reader from a poor reader by his or her presumed lessened need for rereads and by rereading previously read material faster.
For instance, I hurried to find what Luc Sante, in his essay, "A Companion of the Prophet," had to say about the life of Rimbaud (he rereads Enid Starkie's biography), and was delighted to find this: I read the book slowly, in part because it was dense and in part because I wanted to be seen reading it.
