In researching the Potion of Swiftness, I found that its actual effects were not well documented. I did some testing of my own, and came up with this.

Method
This experiment compares the basic Potion of Swiftness with its Redstone-brewed form, Potion of Swiftness (extended), its Glowstone-brewed form, Potion of Swiftness II, and a control of unaffected walking. The three are compared as to increase understanding and efficiency for brewers. As Steve walked as straightly as possible down a 100x2x1m hallway, I precisely timed the duration of time spent walking. I then converted it to m/s and calculated the added velocity with each potion and its percentage increase. I also closely monitored the Debug screen to try to minimize Z-axis movement, as the tunnel stretched along the X-axis.

Results
From this raw data, we can pull out a few key pieces of information.
 * Walking speed is 4.28m/s.
 * Both Normal and Extended forms of the potion increase speed by about 20%.
 * The second tier of the potion increases speed by almost 40%.
