One of DD's coaches told her that if she can't change the speed of any pitch, she won't make it in college ball. So she practiced changing speeds of each pitch, 100% speed, 75% speed, and 50% speed. Obviously 50% speed is worthless but it was part of practice. Anyway, she incorporates this all the time now. I think it's cool. Just not sure about every college pitcher needing to have this as part of their artillery. 
I know this doesn't answer your question (others already have)...just felt I had to add to it.

You do not want the P slowing down her arm swing, you change the grip or not spin it off her hand(more of a push), which will slow it down.
I think when you get to this point it is all about the hand, figures, pressure and grip.
