Probably sticky lifters, go to the parts store and get a product that frees sticky lifters and change the oil and filter and add the product to the oil and see if it frees them up.

What does a ticking sound which increases in frequency with increase in speed coming from the engine mean?

It sounds like the engine timing. The sound is coming from your engine valves. They're not in synch with the rest of your engine. It could also be that the valves are worn out. I'd check the timing first, then the seating on the valves.
