If the user is speeding up playback to improve their productivity (spend less time watching e.g. a lecture), then they may well be willing to wait until enough of the video is buffered, since they can do something else in the meantime. For example by spending 30m buffering the first half of a 1 hour live stream, the user could then watch the whole hour at double speed. Obviously the UI should make it clear what's going on (rather than lengthily buffering without explanation).
