It depends how your brain function.
Some people uses a month on an assignment, and slowly reads all the stuff and makes sure they understand it.
People like me spends 1 day on an assignment that I have been aware of for a month, skims through the text, and then writes the whole assignment in one take and delivers it, often yielding good results.

People are different. Imagine these austists who has like a photographic memory, they skim a text and can reference everything.

I disagree, I heard from a source from a Genius that understanding is the strongest part of your brain, once you understand it, you don't forget it.
Like learning how to ride a bike, you don't forget, the memory is always there the first time you truly understood how it worked.

"The misconception is that intelligence is speed, it's not, it's just remembering and understanding.
Speed is what comes after you understand."

I would say that it does absorb information but more in a subliminal way - like how a lot of subliminal messaging works where you barely see text and only you subconscious takes it in
