Narrative:

Autoplt coupled to perf (perf management system). Controller advised to slow for holding ahead. Aircraft slowed to 220 KIAS, then controller advised speed up to 320 KIAS. Speed was programmed into perf. Suddenly as aircraft was accelerating, aircraft left altitude and climbed 200' above assigned altitude before autoplt could be disconnected.
