“How come all the American yeshivos learn so slow?”
I believe the theory goes that although learning bikiyus is really the way to go (at least the first couple of times through Shas), in today’s day and age when people have difficulty sitting down and learning it is good idea to learn the more “exciting” iyun. However, some Yeshivos go too slow and the bochrim lose intrest in the sugya, defeating the entire purpose of learning bi’iyun.
“Rabbi Rudinsky in Monsey, is fairly young and at an even younger age (shidduchim) had already completed learning much of Shas (if not all. I don’t remember).”
I’m pretty sure he finished all of it. But either way, he currently makes a siyum on Shas Bavli and Yerushalmi every year (in between running a Shul, an elementary school, a high school, a bais medrash, a kollel, paskening shailos, and giving about 6-8 shiurim daily on everything from iyun and halacha to Navi and Yerushalmi).
“Try Yeshivas Ohr Reuven in Monsey.”
As an alumnus of Ohr Reuven (R’ Rudinsky’s yeshiva), I can tell you that they do indeed “move”. In first seder they tend to cover about an amud a week, sometimes more; and second seder is an amud a day, Israeli style.
Also the Yeshiva recently began a Semicha program in Yoreh Deah which learns regular first seder but learns Yoreh Deah bi’iyun halacha li’maaseh.
