depends on how much I've had to drink (and we are not talking kool aid...)

Jeez... 603 WPM. I find that hard to believe. I knew I was fairly fast, but not that fast. I think I better read it again.

BTW... that article was quite possibly the most boring thing I ever read. No wonder I was in such as hurry. ;)

EDIT: 682 second time around. I guess that speed reading discussion years ago actually did do well for me. Now what was that article about again? ;)

390 wpm at 82% comprehension. :(

I got distracted by one of my colleagues looking for a RedHat 9.x CD to install a new VDS though ... and I have no desire to re-read that god-awful article.

Wow, I got 421wpm and 73% for comprehension. That makes me feel way better. I'm going to try it without reading in my head this time.:P

I'm surprised......684 wpm with 82% comprehension. I felt like I was stumbling through the text.

288wpm and 58%. I think that says more about the article than my reading ability however :)

332 with 100% comprehension.

Are you guys just skim reading that to get such high scores? Those up towards 700 are mind blowing (particularly when you're getting in the high 80's for comprehension aswell).

Wish I'd skim read it now to see how much I'd have comprehended without vocalising it.

Just read it again and this time got 558 (though the comprehension test is useless to me now).

Is that timer button working properly? I didn't think I'd read it that much faster the second time around!
