“i can learn around that speed when chazaring a mesechta i know well.”

Not true. The best you can do is think through the superficial steps and conclusions. Understanding with any meaningful depth for us who aren’t top 5 Torah geniuses of the generation requires that one spend time to actually think through each step and focus on it even to remember it in a way that actually counts for learning bec simply having a memory of something in the back of yoour mind does not count even for chazarah. You are fakingg yourself out if you think otherwise.

“instead of focusing on him not learning maybe learn a bit yourself.”

I spent maybe a minute or two watching him plow through a few page turns when i paused to take a little break.

“and maybe he was just trying to locate a specific gemara”

And maybe he was really an isreali spy posing
