As an adjuticator, nothing is worse than listening to Air and Bouree at a hurried tempo. I definetly do not recommend a tempo exceeding 100, nor one at 60. The best result is in the 76-88 range. A modest tempo where you can control the dance like elements of the piece instead of shredding through it like a typewriter starved of air.
The slower you practice this piece, the easier it will become to play at speed.
Good Luck
