It would take more energy for it to spin slower, and more mass for it to spin faster.
...Did I miss some basic physics here? Last time I checked, heavier things need more energy to move, and more energy makes things go faster.
Mass and energy convert between one or the other. The thing with gravity is, you need mass not energy.

Since I believe the spin of a body in space is naturally dependent on mass, by adding mass the spin would increase. By adding energy (which cancels out mass) spin would decrease.
