Individual speed settings on dual extruders -- Possible?

Hello there. I am new and learning, so might ask a few less then perfect questions for awhile.

First one. One duel extruder printers, Is there a way to have each extruder run at it's own speed on the same job when using 2 different filament types or even colors, or whatever reason to use different speeds? Seems there should be, as different filaments will work at different speeds and some colors may be background while others may be more particular for some reason or another.

Thanks for any help. Didn't find anything on this anywhere I have looked yet.

Sure, just use a different process for each extruder. Then setup each process with different speeds. The dual extrusion wizard already sets up 2 processes for you, but they are grouped. So you would need to ungroup them first, then make the speed changes.
