I've found myself using 1.25x, and even 1.5x, when the narrator is really, really, reading slowwwwwly. I don't mean just speaking slowly, but dragging each word ouuuuut. Often when I speed it up, it normalizes the speech for me.
Speeding it up does give it an odd sound quality otherwise, kind of like odd little blurps, so I prefer to keep it at 1x unless I just can't take how far the words are being drawn out.
