Narrative:
On departure, departure control said 'aircraft X, maximum 230 KTS.' I was still climbing out with FAA evaluator in jump seat, so I climbed at 220 KTS. Later, departure said in nonstandard terminology, 'aircraft X up to 250 KTS.' we were heavy and accelerated very slowly from 220 KTS to 250 KTS. After flight, evaluator criticized that departure had made 2 requests for us to speed up and that we had ignored them. I felt he was wrong. We understood that those were 'maximum speeds.'
