I have mine set around 6 percent, sometimes I'll slow it down even more if I'm doing micro work, but I rarely turn it off (precision mode). It's probably stitching at about 1-2 stitches a second in this mode, when I'm not moving the machine. I really like having that to make sure I get stitches in corners, and I don't get the jerky feeling of the machine starting and stopping when in precision mode.
This has no effect on your spi when the machine is moving faster than your cruise setting, it's just the slowest the machine will ever stitch, instead of stopping completely when the machine is stopped. This does mean I have to be quick on the stop switch when I am stopping completely, but that has not been a problem. Often a stitch or two in the same spot it not going to cause problems if I"m stopping to tie off anyway.
