I agree that the lull in activity is helpful, find ammo, charge shield, get HP back up.

But maps like Eridium Blight or Wam Bam Island are a bit empty and big, the pacing starts suffering if you spent nearly a minute mindlessly holding down W. Generally I think those walks are important to let the player recover, grab ammo. People think everything should be done in an instant, including playing a game. I personally think the question is silly, too much instant gratification in this world. OP did not say "feels slow", OP said " I've noticed how long it takes to "run" from A to B.", so this is not about something to make it feel faster, but something to make it faster.
