Skeinforge initial travel speed very slow

My irritation is that when Skeinforge slices an STL it sets the initial travel speed moving from home to the start of the skirt to F60.0
This is dramatically slower than the rest of the print - layer 1 is F1200, and subsequent layers are F3000.
I can't find a setting to fix this and have to edit the gcode manually each time.
Does anyone know where I can fix this?
It's set after gcode.start, so altering it in this doesn't make any difference.
A fairly typical example of the line in question:-
G1 X58.614 Y40.69 Z0.3 F60.0

Thanks
David
Setup: Prusa hosted by Ubuntu 12.04 running Repetier-host and a Sanguinolulu board running Sprinter firmware.
Slicing with: Skeinforge 12.03.14

It moves at the normal travel feed rate set in the Speed tab for me. E.g. G1 X-26.256 Y8.143 Z0.4 F12000.0 when I have it set to 200.

There is a Limit tab which I don't have activated, which looks like it might be your problem as it has an initial feed rate that defaults to 1.

Thanks nophead, that did the trick, I don't think I'd ever looked at that tab.
