@tittetybumpety i normally play tunes pretty fast, but I find speed the ploguh sounds better if you slow down a bit. it also tends to sound better with a fiddle.
i've never heard Speed the Plough played as a reel - it's generally regarded as an English polka, so I would agree with Folkbox re. it being too fast, in that respect, as way too fast to dance too. BUT, I did hear yesterday that it's also played in Irish Sessions...so, maybe as a reel, there? Also, note you are playing it in D - so would be hard to play along with others in an English session, as usually played in G.
That's sounds nice. This (or even faster) is a nice contra dancing speed.

Yikes, you'll get sued by any Morris man who tries to dance at that speed and twists his ankle.

I agree with the the folkbox comment,good technique but slow down to give the tune more time to show itself.
