I fly fighter jets in a simulator called DCS. When you get task saturated you can feel the time speed up and then slow down. Hearing the RWR scream "missile missile missile" at you slows down the seconds to a crawl as you yank the stick and pray you turned in time to out run it. Then time speeds up to a frantic rush when you are trying to operate the radar and not hit a mountain at the same time.

Human time sense is just so weird when you pay attention to it a little.
