Another interesting thought: bullet-time would seem colder. Depending on how things were supposed to be working (let's say your whole body was put into a different relativistic reference frame from everything around you), this would mean that things like air would become liquid/solid and impossible to move through. Interestingly, this would mean that you could have a civilization of Speedsters living comfortably inside a star. |

Yes, but then you also have friction and the required speedup of energy consumption and heat generation. Drag and friction increases with the square of velocity, so going ludicrously fast is going to generate ludicrous heat.
Also recall that there's an absolute zero. Basically, there's limited downside and much greater potential upside.

Or on a Neutron Star, as in Robert Forward's Starquake. (With the speedup coming from the much greater speed of strong force mediated nuclear reactions.)
