Speeding / slowing down

any thoughts about speeding up or slowing down during guitar solos or any type of solo ? As a drummer I find it very hard to be aware that I'm speeding up or slowing down while I'm playing behing a soloist. Of course I can hear it on a recording back, but when I'm in the midst of it, I usually go along with the soloist, whether they're pulling it back or pushing it. Generally the main chunks of the songs are even tempo but when it comes to playing behind a soloist and interacting, I find it very hard to keep it there ( because I'm not actually aware that i'm taking off with them or lagging) and I get caught up in the interaction and sometimes that either takes off or lags depending on their feel.
