Game Mechanics: Pet run speed broken?

[diplo]

i'm severely outrunning my epic pet without jboots. it seems like the pet is switching back and forth from /walk and /run whenever he follows me. if i sit him somewhere and i make him come to me though, he runs at normal speed, but when he's just auto-following me it's funky.

can a dev please check if something's broken because i don't ever recall seeing this before.

Charms do this the last month-ish too. Pets have started walking when near the player instead of running all the way to them, and I think this often causes issues.

is this something new from a patch or is this a bug? sry if i missed it, took an eq hiatus for a month or so.

Likely a bug as a result of the pathing changes they've been working on.

Run speed in general has always seemed to be slightly off on P99: PCs, Pets, Mobs.

I could outrun mobs much easier on Live.
