This.

There are semi-mandatory courses we need to take occasionally at work; and both the speed, and ratio of useful content, are dismal. E.g. Oracle University releases these 24 or 40hr courses which probably have, dunno, 6 hrs of content? Maybe?

It is brutal to try to spend a week going through something so atrociously slow and informationally sparse. Ability to speed it up (sometimes 1.25, 1.5 or 2.0 times) brings it into actually manageable.
