Here is an interesting paper on using NQC to control motor speed. A similar
technique could be used in leJOS:

This paper has lots of interesing ideas in it besides motor speed control.
My favourite being the proximity sensor which I have remodelled in leJOS and
which continues to amaze me that it works at all.
