I imagine that his perception of time is also affected when he uses his super speed. Yes, he can run from one side of the continent to the other and back in a fraction of a second. But from his perspective, he just ran nonstop for an entire month.

It's canon that he can alter the speed at which information is processed / how he perceives the flow of time / events.

But does that alter his ability to do things at speed? If he does all the housework in s second, can he make it feel like a second, or does the fact that he has to pay attention to what he’s doing mean that subjectively it takes just as long as doing it at normal speed?

I think of it being like how a pro golfer does like a dozen things in the split second it takes them to swing a gold club, and they all have to be perfectly coordinated, but they really don't think of each and every little movement in sequence as it happens.
