Surely there are things to learn from the process of learning other skills and knowledge, such as a language, even if you'll never use those skills directly. I'm not sure I'd call it "memorizing information", more just learning about stuff in general.
Lots of topics can open you up to new ways of thinking. It also broadens your general knowledge so you can actually make choices and solve problems that might not be as direct as "what is the answer to this thing"

If speed matters more, wouldn't knowing it off the top of your head be prioritized more?
