Hey there,
I've been reading though Jade Regent as it's been coming out, and while I don't plan to actually run it for a while yet due to time constraints, when I do run it I'd love to expand out all the parts where the AP mentions areas that can be expanded upon. (For example, add more Goblins or even other Goblin tribes into the mix in The Brinewall Legacy, or expand on the thousand or so mile stretch leading up to the Crown of the World at the start of The Hungry Storm.)
However, if I added in that much extra content I'm worried that it might make the PC's too high level as we go though. Instead of just increasing the CR of encounters to compensate (anything from adding HD to just slapping the advanced template on stuff until it's about right), would it be easier, and even feasible, to simply use the slow experience progression instead of the recommended normal progression?
Does anyone have any experiance running an AP in this way?

You would have to increase certain areas of the AP tenfold. There isn't a lot of space to fill in between Brinewall and Brinewall's basement, for example, but you would have to make a lot to fill it in.
If you want to add content, just level up the PCs when you feel like it. It saves a lot of trouble.
