People who want fast speed are usually also those who are able to find in the documentation how to request speed increase, while those who prefer a slow speed are often beginners who have no clue about such things. So the idea would be that the default would be a "welcoming" slow speed, which people would be able to increase at will along getting used to it. What do people think about it? Samuel
