Even leaving aside the fact that that is some weird twisting of words to make that a feat for post crisis supes, you are straight up using a non canon story for a feat
As in this, directly contradicts post crisis continuity and the whole Gog storyline that actually ran through the Superman monthlies( where Gog meets , kills supes for the first time tying in with OWAW) not to mention Thy Kingdom Come
The other feat is equally dubious but lets ignore that for now....
" the blast went off sooner than expected"? seriously?
Thats your response? Not " he didnt make it in time?"
Especially considering we are talking about " But Im not FTl, lend me speed Wally!" post crisis supes here
It going off sooner than he expected would actually make it a faster scene. The whole instance happened in about a nanosecond. Considering the distance he covered, that would make the time perception a lot faster.
Are you arguing Post-CRISIS Superman isn't faster than light from one scene?

Nah dude not one scene. Im going to give the whole argument in a sec
As for that feat
1) we have only supermans word that its a nanosecond, and that too " I give myself ABOUT a nanosecond", rather vague. could be more, could be less
2) the explosion happened sooner rather than later, and supes notes his timing was off, ergo, he fell short off his own vague timer
Also the whole instance does not happen in a nanosecond. Braniac was taking a fair bit of time between the burps, superman had to move the fortress and get the baby there, by which time he approximately had a nanosecond left
Given his history of reaction feats, and his own statements after id say he took longer
You REALLY don't see that what you're arguing, Superman being off, and it happening faster than he estimated, means it happened in less time than he estimated? I don't think I can argue.

Ok here goes
Superman fainted from trying to go FTL in action 591
His race with Wally, going all out had him topping out at several times the speed of sound
Various instances through the 90s of Waverider, the Linear Men etc freezing him in time just as example, action comics annual 3, ftl speed being a pre requiste for time travel in dc
the aforementioned jla 21 where he himself screams " Im not FTL" before proceeding to take speed from wally to achieve the same
the human race, where electric blue supes actually lags behind various lightspeed flashes
ok ....what else , superman 191 , dude barely approaches lightspeed
his race/chase vs Jay " slower than light, barely faster when going all out" Garrick
being called and shown in fights to be Adam/ Marvels equal , they of struggling to keep up with Jay approaching lightspeed fame
being called slower than lightray
being dianas speed equal( ignoring the batman rubbish), she of struggling to keep up with Jesse quick entering the speed force fame
being called slower than light by Dr Light
being consistenty blitzed by time travelling ftl types Wally, Barry , Zolomon
Basically throughout his post crisis career, supes has always been portrayed as the rough speed equal of Diana, Jonn, the marvels, Jay and most non wally west flashes, and all of them consistenty show just lightspeed reactions or in most cases, a little below that
It happening in less time than supermans vague estimation and him failing to react to this, does leave the question of how fast he actually reacted, dangling tantalizingly doesnt it? and brilliantly leaves the question of whether he reacted in less than, more or exactly a nanosoecond, wonderfully answered and left free for speculation, nevermind his own statements of failing to do what he set out to do
