If you were running at 100x clock speed, how much interest would you have in working for someone running in real-time? You'd receive project requirements, comment on them and ask clarifying questions, and send them off... and receive a response in four months, subjective time.

Then again, I suppose that was the state of the world until sometime in the 1800's, and people managed to get things done.

I guess the goal would be to choose work where you don't rely on people at slower clock speeds (say working on deep algorithm stuff - you can get low latency connection to a library and research stuff 100x faster). Or you could change your clock speed / put your consciousness on hold until slower-time triggers mean you can do something productive, and then ramp up so that your end of things happens very quickly.
