It's possible to have something check serverside like every 60 seconds or so. That really wouldn't lag much. All it's doing is comparing your speed variable to the maximum allowed speed.

There's also the possibility of scripting an rc command to check an account's current speed. So if someone reports that a person is moving really fast, the staff could check their walk speed that way. Then it wouldn't have to be doing frequent checks. It depends on how active the staff are and whatnot.
