As a general rule that has served me well in over 30 years in heavy jet transport aeroplanes......slow to the recommended speed at the onset of moderate or greater turbulence.
However (and this was a BIG problem in the early jet aeroplanes ie; B707, early models especially), do NOT get too slow.
The results are...not good.
And get to know the cruise buffet onset chart. Vital information there.
