Weird. I remember in college they told us it takes 30% more time to say things in Italian/Spanish compared to English.

Japanese is a very information dense language and form of writing making it almost universally faster in old 16 bit stuff just because you're scrolling through fewer boxes.

In modern, voice acted games it's really a crap shoot because there are way more factors. Italian/Spanish may be a less information dense language in general, but the script may be more succinct than the English one, actors may deliver lines faster, etc.

What's a good speedrun to show new people? People who don't know about speedrunning or gaming. Thanks, guys. :)
Anyone doing Mario 64

Or if you want to ease them in with something less mind boggling, start with anything from PJ, MechaRichter, Klaige, Murphigator, or Blechy.

Infamous First Light was a snooze but not offensive. What happened in Prime 3 and Secret of Evermore?
