Note 2: 200 articles isn't a very big sample, but it is probably enough to be representative.
Note 3: There could have also been other admins deleting articles, so it is possible that an even greater proportion of them were speedy deletable.
From personal experience, by the time you've gone most of the way down
a single fifty-entry first page of [[Special:Newpages]], a good few of the speedy candidates have gone (at least, they have if you're awake at the right time). Might be worth checking only the first ten and doing it more times... I'll see if I can remember to try some later.
My gut feeling is that "auto-speediable" is closer to 40% than 20%.
