Is there a way to adjust the wipe tower speed?

I’m doing med/large, 3 and 4 color prints and they are taking on the average of 24-36 hours to complete. Watching things print it seems like a lot of the time is spent on the wipe tower, especially when the print includes a lot of light/dark color changes. So I was wondering if there was a way to speed up the wipe tower to maybe shave off an hour or three from my print times. I didn’t see any settings specific to that in Slic3r but maybe I missed something.

I need this too, PETG just does not stick the first layer down on the wipe tower. I am surprised there isn't more people with this issue 🙁

I also have the petg issue, it needs to go slower, the wipe tower becomes a rat's nest and causes collisions to the print head or globs to the part.

Try setting the volumetric speed for that particular filament. 
This is how I got it to work for me.
I recall a prusa docc but can't locate it, maybe this will help.
