Although they could be running relay. But that would increase speed maintained over range, rather than actual speed.
Perhaps it's like horsepower? The more gazellepower you have, the faster?
I'd like to see 1000 gazelles running.

I think it's supposed to be "Paid a penny"
To bring it up to modern rates I guess you would have to change it to "Paid a fortune"
Nah. Isn't the popular way of saying to go to the toilet 'spend a penny' >

Spent a penny sort of implies a successful conclusion..
