It's not (to my mind) the alternation that slows one down. It's the
combination of putting common letters under weak fingers and some
combinationS that require the same hand/finger to slow one down.
aspect a is on the weakest left finger, with the s on a finger that
many people have trouble moving independently from the middle finger (hmm,
I seem to be okay moving the ring finger, but moving the middle finger
tends to drag the ring with it). p is the weakest finger of the right hand.
e&c use the same finger of the left hand, t is the strongest finger but one
is coming off the lower-row reach of middle-finger c.
deaf is all left hand, and the de is the same finger... earth except
for the h is also all left hand, and rt are the same finger.
I suspect for any argument for one side, a corresponding counter can be
made for the other side. There are only 5.5 vowels (the .5 is Y) in
English, so they are likely more prevalent than the 20-odd consonants when
taking singly. Yet A is on the weakest finger on the weakest (for most of
the populace) hand. IOU OTOH are in a fast three-finger roll -- and worse,
IO is fairly common (all the ***ion endings).
