If the answer is "yes" and "less than thirty knots," it probably isn't worth it.
1. It depends on what setting you're already in and in what phase of flight. But most likely, YES.
2. Kinda a vauge question. But I think people were using this setting to climb faster at a set speed. Or using it to get to cruise speed faster when leveling off. I wouldn't recommend it.
There is a reason for 2 different settings. CON is for max continuous. CRZ is for cruise. If they were interchangeable, then there wouldn't be 2 settings. Fly by the book. The only time we call for CON is in a single engine operation.
