Well, assuming Green's metaphor holds, yes. Quite simply: maximum speed of time would be a constant inertial reference frame; no accelerating in any direction. To be the furthest into the time-dimension (ie, farthest into the future, if that makes sense), you would have to have a frame that was not accelerating since the Big Bang. Minimum speed of time is the opposite: all possible acceleration, that is, light speed. Intuitively, this should make time stand still, and it does. And faster still would be going backwards in time (tachyons, anyone?). ~Maru deaf leading the blind.
