Question: Why is my game seemed to be sped up?

My dwarfs move at super sonic speeds as well as everything else. I assume something in the raws must have bugged?

All the time? Probably messed with your init settings and set the fps limits too high.
I've also seen times where it rubberbands, stuff will slow to a stop for a second then shoot into warp speed to catch up. Always happens when I have too many collect clay/sand jobs queued that still point to now invalid collection squares. (Collect jobs set on repeat keep targeting the same square every iteration, even if zones change. So if you build over or grass grows on a tile then the job will fail each time it comes up.)

No bugs, you just have a fast computer. Go to data/init/init.txt. Scroll down to FPS_CAP, and set that number down to where you want it. I have it at 30, which is probably on the slow side. The high side would probably be around 50.
