I always speed it up to about 75, but I think at least 60 is okay for starters.

Hello, We are getting contradictory feedback from users: - a lot of them find espeakup too fast - a lot of them find it too slow so I'm wondering whether the current default speed (the average) is really a good default value. 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?
