Robert B. Parker wrote 1,000 words a day. And then he was done. He produced at least two novels a year that way. You don't have to be a super-speed typist or spend hours and hours in front of your computer to be a successful novelist.
You CAN be really fast, or spend long hours in your writing chair everyday, and some writers do. But that's got nothing to do with how good a writer you are (or in LKH's case, aren't).
On the other hand, I have no problem with her using pages/day instead of words/day to track her progress. I actually agree with her that it doesn't matter what metric you use in that regard; if it works for you, that's all that really matters.
