“I do think it’s a fair critique that bochurim don’t cover enough ground in bekius (i.e. those two sedorim), much less allocate proper time for chazuroh. Sugyos properly absorbed as such a relatively young age will remain embedded for life.”

Chazara is of the utmost importance. As the Gra writes (brought in Even Sheleima 8:7):

??? ???? ????? ??? ????? ???? ???? ?? ??? ?? ???? ??? ????? ????? ???? ????? ???? ???? ?? ????

This is similar to the Gemara in Avoda Zara (19a):

??? ??? ??? ?? ????? ??? ?? ???? ??? ????? ??? ???? ???? ????? ?? ?? ???? ?? ???? ??? ????? ?????? ?????? ????? ??? ???? ?? ?? ????

as Rashi explains:

????? ???? ??? ???? ???? ????? ???? ????? ???? ?????

Interestingly, this Gemara is perhaps the source for not following Talmudic advice on how to learn – ??? ??? ???? ???? ??? ????? ????? ??? ??? ?? ???? ?? ???? ??? ?????? ????? ????

however see Tosafos and the Maharsha.
