When I was growing up, the term "breakdown" (if memory serves) was used for a fast tune, probably in reel tempo (but I don't remember that term being used in rural Ontario then), which was played extremely fast the last time through, so as to "break down" the dancers. I don't believe it was a particular kind of tune, just something fast.
