I know this is slightly OT concerning EXS, but let's not forget the good old
"back to the basics" approach. I have tremendous success using the good old
fashin' strip silence feature right from within Logic.

Get a loop looping smoothly, use strip silence having it create as many slices
as possible (in the arrange window) and set it to a long release time. Then
pack the results into a folder. Voila; a poor man's groove control. I find it
works great for changing tempos up or down a good thirty percent. You can
tweak it even more by playing with fade in/outs from the fade parameter box
with all the slices selected.

Sorry for re-inventing the wheel here, just didn't want to let this basic and
useful functionality go unacknowledged in this current thread.
