While in Aveilus I used to pace the Tzibbur.  One fellow found my "pacing"
annoying and actually "shushed" me.

If you read historical lliterature on litrugy you will see that the techinos
following the Amidah were  essentially private. So the fellow who shushed me
had good historical data to back him even though I felt it was a case of "no
good deed goes unpunished"

AIUI, Sephardim pace everything but the few silent passages and Amidah.
Yeeks pace MORE because in many aspects they are closer to the ancient
Sephardic rite.
