Question: did you find that it leads to faster grokking (beyond the effects of improvement of raw recall ability)?

I don't know, but I think it's just memory. This is almost impossible to self-test, since there's a wide variance in problem difficulty and no way to estimate difficulty except by speed of grokking itself.
