What's wrong with my pooka?

Firstly, thanks to Xaa for a most marvellous sieglet!

But my Pooka is not well.

* When she runs, she runs in slow motion.
- No other aspect of the game seems to be affected by her slow-motion running (other than it's impossible to run away from enemies).
- (That is, all the other characters run normally).
- Her walking is fine, (and indeed marginally faster than her running!).
- Her Fighting, Casting, Foraging, etc. is fine.
- Casting 'Haste' on her has no effect.
- The problem became apparent halfway through the first 'Dead' region (QR5)
- (I thought at the time maybe one of the spiders poisoned her or something, and that was the effect).
- I'm currently somewhat further into the game (KK4) and it's very clear this problem is not going away :(
- And it's getting MUCH harder handling fights with retreat not an option :/
- Strangely, for about 5 (realtime) minutes before the problem began, it was the opposite. like someone had given her a gram of top-shelf speed.
- The difference with 'speedy' pooka was that even her walking in stealth was way fast. (It was great while it lasted ;)

* Also, perhaps related, she isn't eating nor ever getting hungry.
- I can't be sure about when I first noticed this behavior. Definately not before the speedy/slow-motion thing.
- (I guess this is a benefit because it means more food for Mantri and Ursa, but it's still not right).
- Her 'Hunger Timer' is at about 1/4 and has not changed for as far back as I noticed her not eating (at least 6 regions).
- I can force her to eat by right-clicking on food in her inventory, but this does not alter the 'Hunger timer'

Has anyone experienced either of the above and found a solution?

Stats as follows;

Current Region: KK4
STR:21, DEX:17, INT:14
CON:21, PRE:12, TAL:19, MUN:14
Score: 51222

It's been a long time since I played MW, and I don't remember any speed related issues. You might want to ask your question over on Xaa's board for a better chance at getting a response:

"The only sovereign I can allow to rule me is reason. The first law of reason is this: what exists, exists; what is, is. From this irreducible, bedrock principle, all knowledge is built. This is the foundation from which life is embraced.
Reason is a choice. Wishes and whims are not facts, nor are they a means to discovering them. Reason is our only way of grasping reality - it's our basic tool of survival. We are free to evade the effort of thinking, to reject reason, but we are not free to avoid the penalty of the abyss we refuse to see."
