• The faster you go, the more ground you can cover while you digest food and burn lantern oil. But generally the benefits of moving slowly outweigh the benefits of moving quickly.
• Every object has weight. Your maximum speed depends on how much weight you are carrying: more weight, less speed. It is an unfortunate fact of life that sometimes the most valuable objects are the heaviest. Also, sometimes bulk counts as weight: planks and ten-foot poles are not so much heavy as simply cumbersome.
• Your speed doesn't affect the time it takes to turn left, right, or about face; but it still affects things like triggering traps or waking up dozing animals.
• It is your speed when you step onto something that's important; your speed stepping off won't have any effect.
• The "wristwatch" button always allows the minimum amount of time to pass, no matter what your speed is. This often means that nothing obvious will happen until you've clicked it several times.
