Answer 1

Larger objects are relatively weak due to the square-cube law (see the other comments here); this means they can’t step as fast. They do have longer legs so overall they tend to move faster. Over a fairly wide range speed scales with roughly the square root of size but there’s a limit. Above a certain size fragility is a problem and speed actually decreases.
