Specifically, CBaseMonster::Move() in the monsters.cpp file, uses m_flGroundSpeed for the speed of movement. Move() calls MoveExecute() which determines the amount to move based on m_flGroundSpeed and framerate. It then calls UTIL_MoveToOrigin() to tell the engine to move that entity a specific distance (calculated from ground speed and framerate) during the next video frame. You could keep changing m_flGroundSpeed, but the animation wouldn't match up with how fast it's walking (i.e. it would be sliding it's feet on the ground as it walks, ala moon walking).
