My speed depends on the situation. When I'm positioning myself, I sometimes run at flank (parallel to a convoy, for instance) to get ahead of enemies. When I'm going after a DD, I usually run at 2-4kts, to lower the chance of being detected. Of course, speed decreases with range to-target.
Otherwise, I generally always run at 1/3 speed.
