Up till now I have been using an old version of firmware, printing in pronterface from sd, connecting w usb and it has been working just fine. But now i have updated the firmware to 0.78c, and after that the spped settings from slicer seem to be disregarded by pronterface alltogether, it now runs at full throttle. I have searched the forum but havent come across anything similar.
AFAIR the default maximum XY speeds were increased in 0.78 and the default maximum Z speed was reduced. Perhaps you have slic3r configured to use speeds above the old maximum?
You can use the M203 command (typically in config.g) to adjust the maximum speeds.

I have all speeds in slicer set to about 20 mm/s,
What parameter governs the behaviour in z axis?
I can see in config.g that the value for z, is 100., do you recommend increasing this?
Should i try an earlier firmware build?
