We have a technique at my current workplace for speeding up the review of complex patches: "mob reviews". The author of the patch sets up a video call and posts a link to it in the team channel. When one or more reviewer joins, the author goes through the patch in the order that they think makes sense, and writes down any feedback from the reviewers on the pull request. They then immediately go away and fix the feedback, and the second round of reviews is usually just a quick approval.
This pushes some of the mental load onto the patch author.
