One thing I've noticed is that bards really don't have a good
sense of how fast they run. A L32 bard guildmate of mine ran
past me with a MM drum, and my first thought was "Whoa, that's
fast." Same when I saw a druid cast SoC and run off.

I was going to meet some friends at a shadowmen site, when one
of them (KOS) ran into the (huge) aggro radius. I got to see
the shadowmen (well, the stuff they were holding :) fly off in
the direction of my friends. It is fast, but it is not
infinite. I had enough time to warn them, and they had time
to prepare (too bad they didn't use it :).

I'd been playing around with levitate when it happened so I
didn't have Accelerando up or I would've tried chasing them.
