Jan 14, 2020 at 7:00 comment added Quidam Bien que la question puisse effectivement apparaître comme "opinion-biased" (subjective), ne reposant sur aucune étude (?) il est sans doute intéressant d'analyser pourquoi cette perception existe. Il y a une raison linguistique (liée à la prosodie), reste à déterminer laquelle.

Jan 9, 2020 at 10:29 comment added JD2000 Possibly to do with stress timing v syllable timing. I think this is a pretty crude categorisation but Dutch is said to be a stress timed language whereas French is said to be syllable timed. As a Dutch speaker you are probably looking for stress patterns to break down the stream of sound into words, but they are not really there in French (do you have an easier time in English / German?) From what I can see on YT, a Congolese accent does have quite marked stress. I would guess that is due to the influence of local languages. IME speech always seems faster when you can't make out the words.

Jan 9, 2020 at 9:58 comment added Laurent S. To be honest I also find it easier to understand Dutch when spoken by non-native speakers. Same thing for English (in which I'm more fluent though so this is less of a problem), as long as the accent is good enough. I'm not sure whether people now speak faster, but maybe this is also a matter of diction and pronunciation, not only speed (although they're somehow linked)
