Aside from the question of WHAT the daveners of the 29-33 minute shachris speed-daveners are really doing differently from the 45-55 minute slowpokes, I’m even more intrigued about how many of the CR posters daven with stopwatches and can distinguish between a 9 minute and 10 minute maariv. Thre is a big difference between reading the shmoneh esresh really slooowly from a siddur, visualizing and and focusing on the proper pronunciation and meaning of each word versus rushing through the amidah and then waiting around schmoozing with your chevrah waiting respectfully while the rav (and perhaps one other chashuve davener) finish.
