I'm watching almost any video on 2.5-3x speed nowadays, which is faster than reading. Look for the 'Video Speed Controller' Firefox plugin.

I find reading faster and more useful (I can skim for key words, I can look for headings, I can inspect images for as long as I want) and less mentally taxing than listening to a normally-pitched reading by Alvin and the Chipmunks. :D
