The answer to your question is quite simple, really.
Yarn is held in left hand. The middle finger (or index finger) is used to push the yarn down and to the right, to where the right needle can easily push it back through the stitch. This method requires the fewest hand movements of any purl method, and is consequently the fastest (with the exception, perhaps, of the "Combined Knitting Method" of purling--see below). This is the method I use in the Continental purl.
This method of purling, when combined with Continental Knitting, makes for a very fast ribbing. Call me for a fast-paced demonstration of Knit 1, Purl 1 ribbing worked with these methods. Ribbing is of the utmost importance, I can assure you.
