Here while racing past billions and billions of stars, he is able to focus on and note the position of each and everyone one them and then use those positions to calculate his location in space. Considering that individial stars are light years apart, for surfer to near instantly race past billions and billions would indicate he be moving far in excess of billions of times lightspeed. And to be able to mentally perceive focus on and,note the position of each of these billions and billions of stars( note that each star appeared only as a spark of light) as well as use these positions to calculate his position in space while moving at the speed he was going at is incredible. Flash was able to fully mentally perceive and react to Zoom when he achieved a level a speed far below what surfer showed to be reacting at in that example.
Now as far as the calculations he did
Hydra the chess entity was a computer that can evaluate billions of positions per second. But computers are subject to electricity (which moves only at a fraction of the speed of light). To Zoom this computer would be a statue and would seem to calculate 1 position per century.
Zoom is so fast than Superman moving at great speed was still a statue.
