I find chopping down trees to be a long and laborious process, especially when dealing with extremely tall trees, where I need to build a tower up to the top to complete the job.
Is there any way to speed up the chopping down of trees?

Within vanilla minecraft there are a variety of methods for quickly chopping down trees.
From the original question, it is unclear if the desire is clearcutting, or harvesting massive amounts of wood.
For clearcutting, one can use flint and steel and burn the forest. Back in the days of beta, this could cause quite a spectacle. In current (release 1.6.4) days, fires do not get out of control, but most wood on most trees is destroyed.
For massive wood production, best to create a farm. The single most important feature of a farm, is a top barrier to keep trees from growing too large. (Especially important for oaks).
Once you have a farm, then
are all mechanisms by which your harvesting will be vastly sped up.
Thaumcraft Axe of the stream works nicely too. If you just want to harvest wood though, Forestry will let you set up a pretty much completely automated wood farm pretty easily which you can pipe into a chest with buildcraft pipes or redpower tubes.
There are now AFK designs that cage a wither, and have the wither perform the harvesting. All that is required is steve to plant the saplings. So, if you want infinite wood, and have infinite bonemeal there is a path:
