The slip angle and RPM is what determines most the amount of power the motor will need.
Generally they will use more power at higher RPM just to over come windage.
You don't decide the operating RPM of the motor. The manufacturer does that.
For example DC motors need to turn at 5,000 to 6,000 rpm to develop enough power to drive with out drawing so many amps they burn up, which is exactly what will happen if you run the motor too slowly.
