Under your Simulations tab.
"Time Scale - Use this to speed up or slow down the passage of time during simulation. If you set it to 0, the simulation comes to a halt; set a higher value to increase speed. If you accelerate time by some significant amount (>1.5x), you will have to increase the simulation steps as well to preserve stability and continuity. Also, note that you can animate this parameter."
This is strickly a guess since I don't not know how the feature was built (ie if its is linear or on an exponential curve) but:
1.0 being "real-time" or 30 FPS so:
.5 would equal to 60 FPS
.25 would be equal to 120 FPS
.125 would be equal to 240 FPS
That is how I understand it anyway, I would be curious to know if that is correct.
