Generally speaking, as long as one is executing the maneuvers properly, effectively, and efficiently one is properly executing the form at a proper pace.

 

Pace errors typically occur when one goes outside of the boundaries of normal execution. In other words, one is trying to go too fast, or one is trying to go to slow. But one should keep in mind that this rule only applies to idealized execution. For example: execution for a test. This rule does not always apply to stylized execution. For example: certain practice scenarios.

 

Too slow is generally acceptable within a practice scenario when one is concentrating upon minutia of the form or using the form to purposely exaggerate motions for strengthening or detail. Or, for dramatization.

 

Too fast is generally acceptable within a practice scenario when one is trying to push the boundaries of speed while maintaining accuracy and detail.

 

But, generally speaking, one is free to adjust pace anywhere within these limits to taste and/or situational requirements.
