Michael nerfed the elephants' speed because they were too fast, already, i don't think it's likely that their walking speed will be raised. They were not made to take down (ranged) cavalry, but to run amok slow infantry, breaking their formation more through fear than through actual damage. The cavalry couldn't stand a direct confrontation with elephants because they lacked their brute strength and enough agility to dodge their attacks. To deal with the elephants a combination of archers (to take down the riders) and spearmen (to take down the elephants) was used, but only after their initial charge, when the beasts were scattered around and far from their allies, then they could finally be surrounded, and even then it was no easy task (the elephants still had the advantage of their speed and brute force).
