Best quantifiable speed feats?

Disregarding simple point A to point B flying in a straight line feats, what are the best quantifiable (or 'nigh-quantifiable'馃槈 speed feats you've ever seen?

Quicksilver outracing radio waves.

Quicksilver dodging lightning.

Quicksilver running halfway around the world in like 90 seconds.

The first one is good.

The next two are kinda meh.

Hulk running at Iron Man

One might say, Indestructible.

DCnU Superman reading every medical book ever written in seconds. He had to turn all the pages with his hands manually. He had to find each one. And process the information.

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

It seems he was reading texts on the computer as well.

What about old crazy Tom's book of homemade remedies?

Let's get into even bigger leagues.

Wally saving half a million people from an explosion in like a microsecond.

Flash has gone 13 trillion times faster than light

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.

Superman and vartox rebuilding vartox's planet in one panel. The planet exploded and they had to travel millions of lightyears to collect every part of the planet before every molecule of oxygen on earth exploded due to a chain-reaction.

Quantitatively he was not according to the writer.

That's the best "quantifiable" speed ft.

It's quantifiable at 100 x speed of light.

Which means quantifiably its very unimpressive for his 'weight class'.
