For audially-dominated people (in terms of language, that is). Which is not everybody.

I suspect that for people who were visually-dominated in terms of language comprehension since childhood, this isn't that much of an issue.

Finally, I suspect that trying to get in information too fast is another reason for poorer retention. It's not like a fast lecture is all that easy to remember either.
