So this is a borderline post between a bug and how to hack the game and I plan to contact Blizzard about what I've found or think I've found.
OK. So at times I've noticed that I'm speedhacking. I didn't know how or why. This would also happen to Treesh at times as well.
The speed difference is huge. Treesh was able to run faster than a hunter with Aspect of the Cheetah up. mjdoom saw it when Treesh blew by him on her mount when he had spurs and carrot on and she had neither. I have done similar things.
Griffon flights are also faster on the client though you sit and hover over the landing site until the full flight duration should end. I've left Treesh in the dust a couple of times going from IF to SW only to sit and flap till she lands then I land.
Treesh and I both noticed that our local computer clocks run fast. Until we put a new bettery in Treesh's box it was gaining two hours a day. I was getting about 15 minutes a day. Treesh was seeing the speed hack a lot more.
There are a lot of other side issues with it as well. Timers on spells will say it is ready and won't be, monsters warp a lot more and some other things but, you do move faster and do have advantages with it.
We both have new batteries and our clocks are running closer to normal though I'm still gaining about 5 minutes every 24 hours and well I see the "speed hack" effects still, though not as obviously. Running the lenght of the Barrens in a straight line or as close to straight, north to south I can get out of range for a person to be able follow me still. This is with follow mode or driving the two players the same.
I'm convinced that the local time on the client has something to do with this. This is not just a client thing server positioning is updated others can see you moving faster.
There are ways that I could test this, and I plan on doing it, after I contact Blizzard, but that is something I'm not going to post unless a site admin requests it.

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
