Power use would be immense and it would be insanely slow.

Considering 90%+ of the input energy goes to heat with NiTi actuators, Your walking robot would also double as a great space heater.

Power use might be high depending on configuration, but speed shouldn't be that slow using capacitors. Sufficiently strong pneumatics tend to require quite a bit of power too.
