I definitely use 3 and 4 knot speed when transiting target-rich, but aircraft rich environments like single ship lanes underwater by day, I then stop every hour to do a manual hydrophone check , other than that I cruise along at 3 knots letting my Funker do the listening, 4 knots if I've gotten a battery upgrade. It's hardly risky since you'll still hear any warships long before they hear you unless they're dead in the water, which makes for a nasty surprise.
