Yes, PR does help. It improves the understanding of the text, however it must be remembered that if you find the text difficult by regular reading you will still spend time in activating or gaining comprehension.
I think the closes example I personally can relate to is my experiment in reading in another language where by regular reading it took me about 2 hours to get through 40 pages of text and have perhaps 20% comprehension. By applying the Photoreading method I took 3 hours to get though the whole 264 page book and have at least a 70% comprehension.
I posted details of the experiment on the forum under experiment/test.
