Well, IMHE, speed does make a difference if simply because the viscosity of oils and grease change a bit as the bearing heats up. Of course it does stabilize once temperatures stabilize, so I'll have to give in to your point.
In an older issue of Sound Practices, there was an interesting article by the designer of the Platine Verdier. Sorry I forgot his name, but he pointed out the fact that the audiophile practice of spinning the platter to determine bearing tolerance was not necessarily a good one. Having a slightly stronger motor with a bit of additional drag, as Chris points out, will swamp out some of the tendency for the belt to stretch, in the sense that you are already running the belt at the limits of its elasticity (well, I am exaggerating a bit, but I'm sure you understand).
It is not the solution that Chris has come up with, but it does work.
