I visited it - no change (although admittedly, I can't see much need for improvement, so I didn't really try hard).

Mangler:
As I stated before, I can only really get the general idea at 2500-3000wpm. In order to get every word, I need to slow down to 1500wpm at the absolute fastest, and usually more like 900-1200wpm. As for the 900-1200wpm, no I am not scanning, that is just my normal reading speed. If I read as slowly as I can without rereading words or passages or taking abnormally long pauses between words, I am at about 450-500wpm. That's just how I read, and as I said, it probably has to do with the fact that I've been reading since I was 2 or younger.

I usually go through about 1-7 books per week, depending on what else I am doing around that time, and how interesting (and how long) the book is. I have a ridiculous number of books in almost all subjects, and my collection keeps growing (a side effect of fast reading).
