How do I granularly increase the various fast-forward/rewind speed/rate for each of the speed settings for skipping through commercials?

The current defaults go from barely faster than playback, too fast for unexpectedly short commercials, to omfg its so fast I can't see what is happening.

Do people suffer with these defaults, or is there some better setting in the registry, or elsewhere?
