A couple of days ago I was cutting some ovals. I had the feed rate set to 100mm/min but the actual machine speed never exceeded 30mm/min because of the short segments. The oval shapes were drawn in Autocad and converted to g-code using CamBam. Admittedly, I only have a stepper machine but I still don't see how the speed can be accurately controlled in the way you suggest...
