Say no more.
Well..
Rebirth Superman [i.e. post-Crisis + New 52 merged] is so ridiculous, that he is able to run through time:

All the treadmill does is calibrate precision, breaking the time-stream is all him:

So, yeah. The only limit to his speed is....well, Flash. There's no other point of reference that he hasn't already surpassed.
Post Crisis Superman [i.e. half of Rebirth Supes] by himself was insane, too.
As an example, Flash is moving at such an insane speed that it looks like he’s actually warping reality – he recreates the town Superman is in to look like Krypton, not only the clothes, but entire buildings and landscapes (imagine that besides building all of those – he actually has to get all the materials from other locations around the world, design etc.).
Superman tracks him down [Flash can't stop] and proceeds to match his speed and catch him on foot.

Even 90s Superman was so 'speeded up' that in a suspended fraction of a nanosecond he can just casually have a conversation:

For something funny, he's live in two cities simultaneously:

Or has changed into normal clothes and moved behind Lois & Jimmy before the image of his departure has faded from their view [lol]:

He has vibrated intangible:

Invisible:

He has outraced Impulse [who is much, much faster than light] casually:

He's made Jay Garrick and Power Girl look like statues:

Has had Reverse Flash say his speed rivals his own:

[this is literally Eobard right after Flash Rebirth, the same one who was blitzing the Flash family like crazy]
Wally outruns Superman's heat vision [i.e. goes faster than light], but Superman accelerates and catches up to him:

Matches Flash's perceptions, as time stands still around them and they literally have pages of conversation [this is how Superman would see every forum fight]:

For reference, this is Barry explaining his perception the same issue:

Looney tunes stuff, like vibrating himself to match an entire planet's frequency, then reversing it to send it away from our reality:

He doesn't just BFR you off the planet, he BFR's the planet itself!
As for the other half, New 52 Superman, he does stuff like read every medical book ever published [......] in a short time:

...which is silver age ridiculousness, but whatevs.
He can think and process information so fast, it would take supercomputers years to do the same:
