My trick to getting cutscenes to flow quickly in StarCraft I was to read the lines aloud in the voice and mannerism I imagine the character to have, timing each line while I do so with a stopwatch, and then adding 0.25-0.5 seconds on the transmission time for good measure. Going back to read the cutscenes after I do that tends to result in an easy, smooth read with little long pauses. Granted, some people are very slow readers, but you can't accommodate everyone, so it's best to aim for the majority rather than the slim minority of slow readers.
