On Being Mounted (Ooh-Er!)

So I hit level 40, courtesy of the mad rash of Dustwallow Marsh quests, and ran off to get Dire Bear form (Rarrrr!) and a Kodo mount. First time I've had one of these, obviously, and there seems to be an odd trick of the animation (or maybe it's that they're so bulky) that makes them look/feel slower than the other land mounts I've had. I know it is just a weird quirk of perception, as I keep pace with other mounted types just fine, but nevertheless it seems odd to be on a mount that feels like it's travelling slower than I do when I'm in Travel Form.

I think it's related to what makes gnomes look like they're always running at hyper speed. Big things look like they're travelling slow and little things look like they're fast.

Sensible things, like trolls on raptors, appear to travel at sensible speeds. ;)
