Here, Flash outreacts LIGHT (you can clearly see GL's beam travelling towards WW), searches 500,000 people in a picosecond, grabs them, and then throws them into the path of the same beam of energy.
A picosecond to realise GL was firing at WW, to run, search 500,000 people, grab them, and throw them in the path of the same beam before these telepaths (White Martians, with superspeed) can even react.
So he searched 1/2 a square km, or 500m x 500m , in a picosecond. Assuming they are all in nice, neat, orderly rows 1m wide, that's 500 rows of 500m, or 250km.
That's 2.5 x 10^14 km per second, or 8.39 x 10^8 times the speed of light.
Edit: That's over a billion times the speed of light. Of course, he didn't search EVERYONE there - but then, neither were they all organised in neat little rows.
Edit 2: to cross 200 light years, with that speed, would take about 6 seconds.

GL energy should move at least as fast as Superman's HV, if not faster because not strictly light any more then Hulks thunderclaps are pure sound shockwaves..
And Lanterns do regularly cross half the universe to reach Oa. Even Kyle (Who regularly used gl beams\constructs to do tricks like blitz or travel down someones gullet) was doing that, without a computer or pre-programmed tricks like wormholes. It was all rocket power. (Not to mention, Superman himself claimed Kyle was their fastest flier in Circle of Fire. Obviously including himself.)

*Or to fly from Oa back to their sector(s) -- they call it "Hyperspace Velocity." It takes quite a bit of energy, but GLs absolutely can/do achieve that speed whenever they feel the need.

The milky way galaxy, for example, is ~100,000 light years long. In layman's terms: if one were moving at the speed of light, it would still take them ~100,000 years just to get from one side of it to the other.
So for Lanterns to cross galactic(nevermind universal) distances in, like, a few pages, means Hyperspace Velocity is literally tens of thousands of times FTL... As a conservative estimate.
