In wet winter climates, "fast drainage" is very necessary to facilitate the
quick drying which other climates experience. In Britain we can experience
Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter in a 24 hour period.

In the literature, especially the rock garden literature, there are
articles (some of which read like calculus puzzles and kept me tied in
knots) discussing drainage. To make a long story short, I think it's
largely bunk as far as most summer dormant plants are concerned.
It's complete bunk as far as anything having to do with plants is
concerned, but seems to have some relevance growing plants in wet-winter
climates.
