It is a nice feature. I find that if a person has a strong accent, they are harder to understand at higher speeds than people with an accent you're used to. And of course some people naturally talk faster than others. One could imagine algorithms that look for gaps between words and try to figure out if there is a fast talker or a slow talker, or no talking at all, and adjust the speed of play (though not tremendously) as things change. I have found that because of this you like to play with the playback speed rather than leave it constant, which implies I might want to move it to its own set of keys (at least when on a keyboard) rather than having the adjustment be a "mode" you have to press A to get. (Actually up arrow and down arrow probably don't need to be large jumps when pgup/pgdn already do that) or one could use shift-arrows etc.
