"Petty pace" refers to a slow, insignificant, or trivial progression through life or time. The phrase is often associated with Shakespeare's "Macbeth," where it conveys a sense of monotonous, unremarkable movement towards death. It emphasizes the idea that life can feel tedious and lacking in meaning as one moves through its stages.
Petty, from the French petit (small) means minor in terms of rank or importance, as in petty officer, petty cash or petty theft. In terms of personality it means mean-spirited, low, ungracious. The official definition of the word petty is "of little importance; trivial."
