in JOSM there is a plugin that displays different colours according to
travelling speed, but currently it works just with locally opened
tracks, not downloaded ones (because they do not contain the
time-information). With the new type of track it might by possible to
do this (the ones that contain time info. Actually I don't know if
this already works, did a test some day ago and the so called
new-"public" tracks were not downloaded at all, so I deleted them and
reuploaded it in old-"public"-way and then it worked again).

cheers,
Martin
