I think the most important pieces of advice for speeding up are:

1)  First, look at the percentage correct.  This appears before either the questions or answers, and primes you for how hard of a question this is going to be.

2)  Look at the answers before reading the question.  I get a lot of answers in .8 or .9 seconds simply by noticing that only one of the four answers is even remotely legit.  My favorite is the one where the four answers are:  Liam Noseson, Liam Neckson, Liam Neeson, Liam Elbowson.  Or something like that.  Regardless, I've gotten that question 3-4 times and to this day I don't know what the question is asking, since the answer is obvious without the question.  There are lots of examples like this.  And even when they're not like this, the percentage helps you out.  If it's a soccer question with a percent correct over 80, the answer is Brazil.  If it's a soccer question with a percent correct below 50, the answer is definitely not Brazil.  Beyond this, I agree with Ohran that it's largely recognition and memorisation -- there are definitely instances where I recognize the three wrong answers that go along with a given correct one, again making waiting for the question unneccessary.
