It's not that impressive. Seconds are a long time to superman. This is the truth in all cases--whether in feats of intelligence, or physical feats.

I memorized my Chinese restaurants take out menu in seconds.
Maybe Chinese take out menus are shorter where you're from, because that actually sounds kind of impressive.
I've got one in my hand right now. It's four pages long and mostly comprised of words I don't recognize. I've ordered from it several times, yet I'm certain I could not recreate it identically with even dozens of attempts.

That's not how it works.
If that's how it worked, he would never be able to stop a surprise shooting in a crowd, because if he was truly operating at human speeds, by the time he decided to 'up' his perception speed in order to bullet time, a few people would already have been shot.
He does superspeeds and human speeds both at the same time--somehow. He can simply turn himself up to be dominant in the superspeed department if he chooses to.

Nope. That's how his superspeed works. He has to consciously use it.
No.
Otherwise he would never have the time to go from human speeds to bullet timing speeds in a surprise situation where guns are already fired.
Literally by the time he would have to take to think 'super speed on', people would have already been shot. Why?
Because the human speed of thought is very, phucking, slow. It takes a lot longer for neurons to fire to form a single thought than it takes for a bullet to reach its target from 10 feet away.
His Super speed is always on. He can simply make it take full control of all of his perceptions consciously when he has to. But its always running on standby.

Initially he couldn't even see barry, then he speeded up his perceptions and saw him.

His bodily reaction time is consciously controlled by his mind which operates on a faster than nanosecond level. All he needs is to think about speeding up and its done.

Which is another way of saying his speed of thought is always even subconsciously fast. Just as I said.
Because he can't think at humans speeds to go "super speed on", while a bullet is fired at someone from ten feet away. Because by the time that thought is even complete, the person has already been shot and its too late.
There's literally no way else for this to work than what I said, and that's what the feats show. human speed of thought can literally be measured in the double digit miles per hour. that's slow.
Ok I think I get you now.
Cosmic is arguing his speed is always superfast.
You're arguing that its not, but in fact, its the fact he has superfast acceleration and he can easily hit top speeds.
I get ya. One argument is that he's always pootling along at 60mph, you're saying he's actually at 10mph, but can accelerate to 60mph so quickly it may as well be instantaneous.
