holding the analog stick forward is what we're all used to, but holding the analog stick diagonally to get to where you're going is s i g n i f i c a n t l y faster. swimming in water, walking through tall grass, anywhere.
the latter half of my new PB showcases this, including my realization that it's true. check "the cave." i golded the stage by almost 10 seconds.
Also worth noting are places where NOT to do this, as it'll mess up the game's sequence progression and ultimately cost you time.
-
At the beginning of "To Save Ann," I tried swimming ultrafast and Ann wound up somehow being eaten by the V-Rex. ^^^EDIT: DO THIS. The checkpoint skip from the Ann death saves you time over doing the stage normally. I don't know why.

At the beginning of "Call Kong," I accidentally ran so fast past the zone that triggers the V-Rex that it never spawned, so I had to backtrack in order to activate it.
I'll add more as we figure more of these out. In the meantime, enjoy the free timesave. (:
