Papers are already structured in a way that makes reading them very efficient, by providing different layers: you read the title, if you're interested you read the abstract, if you're still interested you read the intro, conclusions and maybe charts/tables, if you're really interested you read the rest.
I have the feeling that when my interest in a paper is enough to read everything, I might as well read a couple more pages if the paper is going to feel less crammed (often compression makes understanding harder). Although I might be underestimating the issue.
