by the way, that stand still, slow walk then full sprint thing I mentioned isn't all that hard to see. You know because there is a visual difference in a game when you go from stand still to full sprint. SWG (classic, not CU/NGE) was one MMO where toons went from stand still to full sprint as soon as you moved...there was two speeds when you don't have walk mode on and that was stand still...then full sprint (no slow movement between standing still and them full sprint). In AO, your standing still, then when you start to move, you can see your toon gradually pick up speed (last about 1.5 seconds actually) and then you will see them kick it into full sprint mode from there. During that time you are in slow walk mode, nano's continue to cast and maybe even another second after the transition from slow walk to full sprint.
Basically it's just old back in the day's programming at work here. AO is a old game and many of the sub routines it uses for motion, casting nano's, shooting, jumping (basically all movement) has a degree of transition (often interpreted as lag). Latest games have much better motion captures and instant action to key press on the keyboard and there usually isn't a transition period between stand still and full sprint.
Hope that helps shed light on some things....
