Perception adds to your ability to hide, as well as your ability to detect it. If you have high perception, and high hiding, you will be very difficult to find to anyone who doesnt literally run into you, except for those who have a similar build as you. This gives a purpose to players who make "spotters" or "hunters" with their characters.
As far as speed goes -- i dont believe it needs much increase either. If we could run at normal run speed, while hiding, what reason would there ever be to go out exploring and not have Hide activated? Can you imagine how dumb it would be if 90% of the population running around xsyon was always in "hide" and we all just kept coming across more "ghost like" people? I kind of liked the idea of faster movement at the cost of reduced hiding. So maybe 100% effectiveness of your hide level when moving slowly, 50% while moving at run speed, something like that. I would be more amenable to that idea.
