From Linear Algebra Done Right:
"If you zip through a page in less than an hour, you are probably going too fast."
It's a step higher than Spivak, but not a large one. 10 chapter, 250 pages, so about 25 hours a chapter. Plus exercises, which sometimes take upwards an hour each.
Math is hard. It takes a long time, especially if you don't immediately see how to do something, or try to solve a problem by conjecturing a lemma that turns out to not be true. If you're in flow when you study, then you're maximally utilizing your cognitive resources, and going as fast as your brain will let you. Don't try to go faster, you'll just start missing things.
