Movement speed

[mythstified]

Curious about something

This is a pretty typical object translation 

Code:

transform.position += transform.forward * MoveSpeed * Time.deltaTime;

If MoveSpeed = 5.7, would that be the same speed as if I put 5.7 into the Movement Speed along a spline?

I'm making an object shape the player that's aligned to a spline, but this chaser won't be on a spline.. so the numbers have to relate.  Right now, 5.7 makes the chaser MUCH faster than my player.
