How fast can a large animal knuckle-walk?

Start with a silverback gorilla, make it roughly three times bigger, assume it's bone and muscle structure is capable of compensating for the increased size: how fast can a thing like that reasonably move, when it's not sprinting but it definitely has somewhere to be? Would it be faster or slower than a human moving on foot at the same level of urgency, and is that linear or does it depend on the speed?
