How can we fix the Patent Office, allowing examiners to effectively distinguish between patentable and unpatentable inventions, without slowing the process to a crawl or wasting a bunch of money?

His conclusion is that we can make the Patent Office better, but are unlikely to solve the problem of bad patents.
