How much of a speed increase are you going for? I use the varispeed
or pitch control knob (whatever you want to call it) on my 4-track to
slightly increase the speed on most of my recordings. Actually though,
I didn't start doing it to make the songs more uptempo, but rather to
compensate for tapes stretching out and slowing down after numerous
plays. But anyway, I don't get any sort of munchkinization of my
vocals or instruments when I do this...but I'm also not raising the
speed more than a couple of cents.

The keyword here is 'slightly'; more than a few percent and it's
chipmunk time. It's used reasonably frequently (IMHO) 'cos by the
time the final mix is made, those making it have heard the song
numerous times and it's getting a little stale. Speeding it up a
little gives it a bit of a 'push'.
