Would your reaction time change? Maybe the neurons in your brain would be going at super speed, but maybe your peripheral nerves would still be slow. So, the time between hearing something and the signal getting to your brain would still take ages. Or, the light would hit your eyes, but it would be a long time before that was processed into a signal your ultra-fast brain could use.
You can’t actually change time, just your perception of time.
If you can’t perceive anything while time is frozen as a consequence of biological structure, then your “side-effect” is just complete nullification. You wouldn’t be changing your perception of time at all. Not much of a side-effect.
If your brain and senses can act at super speed but everything else in your body acts in real time, you’d still have an advantage in reaction time as you would be able to recognize and initiate your first reaction near-instantly.

It sounds like you’re saying “reaction” is something that happens in the head, while I’m saying “reaction” is something that happens in the body.
