nope. it would take a super-genius to even be remotely shayach to understand the steps of a gemara at that speed, and he was no genius. And those who truly know a mesechta that well are very deliberate in their learning and don’t substitute it for a sidur. Someone who learns 10 blatt a day with the possible exception of R’ Chaim Kanievsky Shlita don’t have any understanding of what they “learned”.
