Taking off in crosswinds

Was at Stansted the other day, fairly breezy crosswinds, and noticed a number of different techniques adopted when taking off to account for the weather. The one that grabbed my attention was Ryanairs pilots seemed to adopt the "gun it" approach to taking off, eg. put your foot down and blast through the wind!!

My question is, does there come a point where if taking off in crosswinds you can be going too fast?
