The cutting in my vid doesn't feel particularly fast to me either, but then, I slowed it down as much as I could force myself to because I know I can parse much faster than the average viewer. I also chose shots with a lot less internal motion than I usually go for. There are other vids on the DVD, you'll notice, that are cut slower than mine, but feel faster because they have more internal motion.
Here I'm thinking speed as relative to content. You can cut faster if the viewer knows the context. You can cut faster if you're telling a simpler story. With this vid I was expecting that no one would know the context, and yet I still wanted everyone to be able to absorb the eight or so stages of Gia's adult life that my vid covered.
In Tsumibito No Kashou (http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=39018), for example -- I can see every image in this vid, but they're all going by way to fast for me to draw any sort of connection between one image and the next. This vid is completely opaque to anyone not intimately familiar with the anime.
