We had a big discussion on this about a year ago I think.  I believe
the emphasis then was on oncomming semis.  I've ridden that
stretch (and other front range wind routes) a number of times and
it can be a real b***h.  One tip that you may have already discovered
is to always be aware of upcomming wind shelters.  When your tooling
along with a stiff side wind, you are leaned into the wind considerably.
When you pass a little hill or anything that blocks the wind, you 
instantly turn into the direction of the missing wind.  All you can
do is watch for those things coming and be prepared to "corner."  

I've heard all kinds of theories about going fast or going slow.  What
it all boils down to is what you feel most confident with.  It's true
you have more stability if you are doing 100mph, but you might not
feel too comfortable that way.
