It also depends on the quality of the final product you want; the faster you go the lower the quality. Printing more than one model on the bed concurrently can also speed up the overall time - although that does come with other considerations e.g. print too hot and you will suffer stringing. If your feed system is working 100% you will not need to go anywhere near 240 if you are using normal PLA

It depends on a few factors.
Ultimaker recommends you max print speed to be 8mm3/s but a well working machine can print at 10mm3/s
You multiply your nozzle diameter with the layer height and speed to find out what your currently printing at.
pretty much the faster you print the hotter your nozzle temp needs to be. but for PLA don't exceed 240 or it will start to burn.
If you increase the layer height then you are pushing a lot more plastic through the nozzle so this in turn effects the temp and print speed.
telling us 200% doesn't mean much as we don't know your print speed and layer heights etc.. so if you need more advice then you might want to post these.
