He flew to Rao in seconds in Infinite Crisis, Rao which is IIRC either at the other end of the Galaxy or in another Galaxy entirely.
To compare, if Gladiator's fastest speed is 100 LY per year then it would take him about two weeks to get from Earth to Earth's closest neighboring system, Alpha Centauri.

This myth needs to die. Gladiator IS NOT faster than Superman. Not even close. He's not stronger than Superman. And he's not even close to as durable either. He's Superman-lite. Not only that, but considering Glads spends most of his time in space, where feats tend to go up in scale due to "space cheese" and he's more often than not portrayed as a ruthless enforcer for an empire, its funny that he still has no feats that make him more powerful than Superman, who as a HERO based on earth is almost always holding back.
SS has no combat speed feats. He has one of the most notorious glass jaws in all of comics. He's been physically beaten by characters who aren't as strong as Superman numerous times.
Superman would beat the SS. I have no doubt about that.

100x the speed of light is pitiful compared to what Superman has done.
This is correct. Superman has rebuilt a city in seconds. He had to lay the foundations of EVERY SINGLE BUILDING, he also had to mix the cement and find all the building materials. Moving 100x the speed of light in a straight line is nothing compared to that.

Doubt it. He's tanked worse. Hell, he's held a black hole and contained it in his bare hands.
Black holes vary in size (and therefore power). You think just because Superman tanked a small basketball sized black hole he can tank one that can swallow entire solar systems? Maybe entire star clusters?
