Speed!
Is it actually documented what the "Speed" parameter in the "tune" menu does?
Just for laughs I cranked it up to 300 %, with a finger near the reset button. Laughing stopped when I didn't notice any change in print quality that I could see through the glass door. Only, the print head moves like OD'd on caffeine (I don't believe truly 3x faster but "pretty darn fast").
Is it then so that the parameter accelerates everything, but clips to a safe, known ceiling? That - if so, and the print completes successfully - would be a mighty tool e.g. for quick-and-dirty testprints, without touching the design's slicer settings...
Now, actually wondering, how a 0.25 mm nozzle "taking the white pill" would compare against stock 0.4 mm.

It being a Prusa, I am quite sure that speed limit is metric! 🙂
RE: Speed!
When you turn on the speed parameter, if you don't keep the printer above 60 mph it will explode...

Movie stuff... wipe tower deconstructed halfway, resulting in head-crash, Spaghetti monster incident. Ok, "monster" on a millimeter scale thanks to the 0.25mm nozzle but for Hollywood it's just a question of camera angle... the journey continues...
I don't think there is a 0.25 mm preset for MMU so I may need to look into wipe tower settings. Now here's a new and interesting problem.

RE:
...ludicrous speed. Not yet gone to plaid but some visible red shift (8 mm³ purge volume is fairly low).

It takes the speed limits specified in the gcode into account, so it will only attain 200% speed increases in slow sections, like ironing.
