Understanding isn't the issue for me. I have a solid math background, so I'm understanding things about as fast as I can read them. My main issue is the terminology, there is just lots of it.
A more traditional programming example is this; if you learn Java you need to understand, but learning the libraries is more a matter of remembering than understanding.
Some subjects are broad, not simply deep. Speed reading (or whatever) could help with the breadth.
