In RvR situations, in PvE, it seems to be.
To be more precise: I followed a running enemy for 10+ seconds (until he stealthed), couple hundred locs distance, pet running next to me, it did definitely not outpace me. Or the speed difference is so minor I just could not see it .. In PvE, when sending the pet at a mob and sprinting next to it, it outpaces me perceivably.

Posted very drunk, hence the typos in the heading. Sorry ^^
The original Hunter pet was just as fast as the player, the "charge" ability was added in a patch after 1.65, around when disease and snare were also added I believe. The only class that currently has a "charging" pet is the Bonedancer I think.
Phoenix slightly altered that, see S1 patchnotes. I'm just not sure how it works exactly, maybe distance-to-enemy modified to kick in, as the pet does seem to reliable hold contact once it's up close to an enemy. Would need some help to do more testing
