Ouch, that hurt.
Hermione is brilliant. She spends lots of time with books because she 
goes much deeper and wider than the home work requires. Nobody asked her 
to read "Hogwarts, the history". Nobody asked her to look up the animagi
list in PoA. Nobody asked her to rewrite the finished essay because she 
learned some new information at the last moment. She studies all the 
time because she can't keep her mind idle.
What you describe is a student who does exactly the amount he is 
required to, who will read exactly to the page the teacher said and not 
a sentence more. That should not take too much time with a bit of brain,
true, but that's nothing to do with Hermione.
