I'm a heavy user of anki, especially in my japanese learning, and I agree that it is one of the most efficient tool to help one remember things. Optimized repetition has its limits though, and I often find myself overwhelmed by too much cards. For language learning, I'm not sure that spending time rehearsing vocabulary anki is more efficient than reading new material (or, probably the best, expressing oneself in that language in a new setting), but it would be extremely interesting to test that.

I find that language learning cards are very quick to go through. If I have 300 cards to practice, all it takes is a quick glance at the foreign or English side to recall, and I can finish a card in less than a second, so it would take at most 5 minutes to go through them all, but usually a lot less. It can get a bit tedious, but is definitely not too slow.
