I'm not sure I understand that. If you go to the "other side of the speed tape and beyond", your airspeed
must be reducing, unless you are referring to the Vmin foot increasing when the boards are extended (as it does in my machine).
I would have thought acceleration rates of all pax jets would be the same (certification requirement). A slam accel from idle to max in an E190 or a 747 should be the same time?
