Thinking About Evading Searchers

This morning I had a revelation, perhaps the best way to hide is not necessarily to be as slow and therefore quiet as possible. There's two competing processes involved in hiding. On the one hand, as you move more quickly, you are more easily detected at longer ranges. On the other hand, though, the effect of your motion is, in general, to frustrate the search plans of your opponent. That leads me to wonder, is there a best compromise between motion and silencing?
