It's obvious. She traveled to the moon in no time at all and across countries. Quicksilver completed two sentences during that instance before she got there and no, he wasn't talking at super speed. It would take her months to make it to the moon or other long distance areas where she has teleported. That's IF we use that showing as her moving at either her fastest or her average speeds. Like I said, it's obvious that showing should not be held against her.

So....she's not instant? I don't get it. Help me understand here.
Do any other teleporters have differing speeds? So Nightcrawler is sometimes faster than in other times? The Spot? Coyote? Midnighter with doors?

Lol...are you truly asking me if the speed of a character differentiate from writer to writer?
Ha, my take on that scene is:
Statement 1:
[quote]At 13:57 and .00001 microseconds, half a million Koreans seemed to materialize on a hilltop 35 miles away from the blast
Statement 2:
They were carried there...one at a time, sometimes two...at a hair breadth short of the speed of light.
Statement 1 gives Flash's speed as eleventy gajillion times the speed of light.
Statement 2 gives Flash's speed as 0.999 times the speed of light.
Which do we take? How about both?
We know the Flash carried the Koreans at 'a hair breadth's short of the speed of light'.
But when he's running BACK into the city, empty handed, without anyone in his arms and when's he's not having to worry about civilians..he's running faster.
So, rather than assuming a constant speed (the speed that he carried them there = the speed he runs back into the city), he probably took a bit more care+time when he was carrying a little old Korean lady, than ramping it up to max gear when he's on his own.
TL;DR: Flash was going INCREDIBLY fast when running back into the city, and when carrying people, was going under the speed of light.
To just focus on Statement 2, ignores on-panel narration of Statement 1. [/QUOTE]
