I forgot to mention that this goes for any era ever.

It seems he was reading texts on the computer as well.
It's a helluva feat, possibly the best pure quantifiable feat in the modern comics.
I can think of better old school feats though. Golden Age Superman making his own underground cities across the entire planet, in seconds too, IIRC.
Probably the best pure speed feat I can think of is Golden Age Captain Marvel rebuilding an entire planet by himself in a panel. The planet had exploded and he was noted to put it back together before the atmosphere got too far away to reform...or something.
