When they meet at Lois Lane's penthouse, Lois asks Superman how fast he can fly. He responds that he never timed himself. At the end of the film when he orbits the earth to set back time, at peak speed, he appears to orbit the earth 44 times in approximately 10.5 seconds at a diameter of approximately 1.75 times the earth's diameter. This means at peak speed, he traveled approximately 183,000 miles per second. The speed of light is 186,000 per second. So essentially, Superman was traveling at the speed of light, which is possibly Richard Donner's intention, and is extraordinarily "faster than a speeding bullet!"
