You're right, reading the slides is probably enough for this video but I guess there are some videos which you want to (or have to) watch but are too slow.

I myself use MySpeed. It costs 29$ but you don't have to download the video and can change the playback speed from 0.3 to 3.0. There are probably equivalent programs for free, but my google-fu wasn't strong enough to find them.

You can use mplayer or vlc to stream youtube videos and they have the ability to change playback speed.
