When I first installed it when I went on the world map it moved pretty fast, now I installed the patch and its god awful slow.
Anyway I can speed this up?
That could be a bug. In Fallout 2 you walked on foot unless you managed to get a vehicle, once in a vehicle you traveled faster on the map.
I seem to recall something about Fallout 2 having the overland encounter rate tied to the CPU clock (which is unexpectedly fast on a modern CPU), the patches fixed it.
I don't recall if that affected the speed or not.
