I've always been a naturally fast reader, and when reading up on speedreading techniques, I found many things which I had done naturally already... no subvocalization being a primary one.
From what I understand, the reason that subvocalization slows stuff done is not that you're hearing the sounds, but that you're actually imaging yourself saying them, associating the words with your voice box... which makes sense giving that the word is subvocalizing and not subhearing. This means that you can read only as fast as you can speak.
Anyways, I associate the words with my head, and not my voice box... I still hearthe words being said, but it's my mind that's reading them, not my mouth. Still get the benifit of hearing the sounds, but you don't have to say them out loud.
Comprehension has never been a problem.
