I just went out to the shop and looked at my power hand plane and my craftsman jointer the hand plane runs at 12,000 RPM with about a 2 to 1 reduction to the cutter head and the jointer runs a 3450 RPM motor with a 2 to 1 Increase to the cutterhead. that is what I am going by. Do what you will but I don't think the jointer was ever intended to operate at those speeds.

From the time you're born till' you ride in a hearse, there's nothing so bad it couldn't be worse!
