speed of the units

[SwissBarbar]

Light Inf is faster than heavy inf
light cav. is faster than heavy cav.
tired units are slower than units in good condition
some units tire faster that other units
some units recover faster from being tired than other units

but as far as model speed are concerned, some heavy infantry use "fs_big_xxxxxxxman" animation, which means that the scale of the animations are increased, and as the result, they'll have larger steps, and as we can predict, faster speed... this was quite noticeable in some Celtic/Sweboz heavy infantry, who often outrun Hellenic / Romaioi light infantry...

Ehm.. you passed my test. *cough* *cough* Of course it's the other way round, as WinsingtonIII stated.

I believe that you meant:

Can Hellenic Light Hoplites keep up to the Peltastai?

I dunno, I never actually bothered recruiting them. I just wait out the hail of javelins, then march forward.
