Im no expert but i think if u want to slow it down open the NLA Editor select all key points (hit ‘a’) then scale the keys down along the ‘frames’ timeline. U can individually move the keys as well.
I think the arms should be swinging though when his walking.

Great start.

I suggest you add a bit of a twist to the spine to compliment the walk. Check out the walk-cycle instructions in the BSOD Intro to Character Animation tutorial (http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BSoD/Introduction_to_Character_Animation/2-second_animation).

It’s a great, easy-to-follow explanation of a fairly simple yet realistic animated walk.
