That is the very reason I did the conversion in the first place. Because I have the lightning fast reflexes of a tortoise!
On the opposite end of the scale - eventually I want to put a VFD on my mill as well. The top speed on it is only around 3250(?) rpm. With a VFD I could run it much faster without having to change the motor, although I may have to put some higher quality bearings in the machine.
