Speed reading memorization techniques range from simple improvement in comprehension to powerful photographic memory. When we understand how something works or the concepts behind a topic, it is always far easier to remember. When reading larger blocks of information instead of every word, our brain is quicker to understand and process the information, therefore committing it to memory more easily.
One cure for this is to stop reading and deliberately seek some distraction, then return to what you were reading with renewed attention. Perhaps the best general advice is: Do not mix play and work. When it is time to work, work hard. Apply yourself to your task and keep going as long as you can give the job full attention. But if there is more work remaining to be done, make the rest period short. It is surprising how quickly you can refresh your mind by turning to something entirely different for a few minutes.

Speed reading is a great skill to have, still many folks can read real fast but their comprehension suffers. You see, while I was in college, I took 33 credits in one semester once, I had to go to two different schools to do this, and it nearly killed me. Such bills are still cooling from the press by the time the vote is needed.
