Yeah, twice as slow is a bit too much, but it'd have to be a decent amount, something that would convince people to use humans. The only thing I've heard about 3rd ed is that they're removing dualclass, racial level limitations and class restrictions. I don't think a dwarf could ever be a ranger. Dwarves give priority to wealth, and most dwarves are loathe to travel outside their mountainous homes. It'd take a pretty radical-thinking dwarf to come to the conclusion that gold isn't all that important and that the wilderness is actually quite a nice place.
All this talk of skills and multiple professions is starting to make D&D sound more like Ultima Online.
