That's a tough one. I recall reading somewhere that the speed of the trill could be shown (slower to faster or vice-versa) by the intensity of the wavy line--that is, peaks further apart for slowing, peaks closer together for more intense, or speeding up. I don't think any software will do this, though--this may be a remnant of manuscript days.
I think that people "hear" differently, too. Why wouldn't we? We taste, see and smell differently.
But even with that being said, I think that there is an overabundance of "brisk tempo/presto" playing in music, which is often marked "Allegro". Some conductors don't know the difference between Allegro and Presto. There is an art to playing slower...you keep the forward motion and express in the minute bits of extra time, and the music then "breathes". Some conductors rush through everything like they were late for a train. I know that for me, Listening is far better when the music breathes. You can ask, but old habits die hard.
