950 wpm is impressive.

I did the test from the article, and got about 500 wpm with the standard font (about 400 wpm on the Bionic Reading thing). Even that speed is at the limit; I'm already skipping parts of the text that don't seem to contribute much (I could still correctly answer the reading comprehension quizzes at the end though).

I ignore all those fads too. This Bionic Reading font in particular feels completely backwards: it tries to make me read word by word which is needlessly slow.
