If you "learn" the characters at too slow a speed, you don't really 
learn them properly. Then when you want to copy at speeds that make CW 
really useful and enjoyable, you will have to learn them all over again. 
Learning at at least 15 WPM (David says 17 WPM) is much better in the 
long term. It will save you time and effort compared to "learning" at a 
slow speed that allows you to mentally count dits and dahs, and convert 
them to letters using a memorized look up table.
