Printer speed variation with each slice area

Would be on ranges too to reduce speed on small details. Actually I need to set the speed to slower required value , this is an slower print.
The critical factor regarding precision is not so much speed but acceleration. XY Acceleration can be set in the Printer/Speed tab and is then available through the token <ACCEL> which can be used in "Printer G-Code"/"Prefix" to actually make the setting effective. At the beginning of my prefix code I use:
M201 X<ACCEL> Y<ACCEL>
M202 X<ACCEL> Y<ACCEL>
where M201 sets the maximal acceleration for printing and M202 for traveling (Marlin or Repetier firmware). Obviously this sets acceleration for everything, especially for starting travel moves and infill, where possibly higher accelerations could be used without affecting print quality.
