Just now is the first time i've used Colorfabb XT. I find the prints came out absolutely fabulous, with the printing speed increased about 270% from all my previous attempts at PLA filaments (Polish PolPlast, Velleman, and OrbiTech) . Granted, I'm making a few easy prints right now, no overhangs. I always use glue, I apply one layer of glue which I find lasts for about 50 prints. For the Colorfabb XT, i set the bed at 65C, and the hot-end at 250C for the first layer (to account for the typical temp overshoot on my UM2), then gradually increase over the first few layers to 260C. I set the print speed at 70mm/s at 0.1mm layer height. (the lower the layer height, the more mm/s you can set)
