Cruise speed trick.

[Haste]

Basically, your strafe speed adds up to your regular, linear speed. So move your cursor slightly off-target (to the left, or right, for example), and then strafe in the opposite direction. Let's say your target is straight ahead. Move your cursor so you're flying slightly to his left. Then strafe right. The speeds will add up, and you'll effectively move at about 360 m/s.

Of course, whoever is running can actually do the same and you'll never catch up.
