Good morning/afternoon/evening, everyone.
Today I'd like to some calculations regarding this feat of Goku:

Page 3
In it, we see that Goku had just awakened from his healing state, and upon locating Freeza, Vegeta and the others, almost instantly travels to their fighting location.
The question we all need to ask is: How far did he travel, and how long did it take?
Well, we know that he crossed half of Namek's circumference, due to the information on this page:
Due to this, we know that Goku crossed half of Namek's Circumference, likely around it's equatorial location.
Now, how large is Namek? Well, I'll propose that it is pretty much the same size as Earth, due to it's identical gravity and atmosphere (Bulma, an average human, walked and breathed on it with 0 effort from her part). Yes, I know that in Dragon Ball there are cases like King Kai's planet, in which the gravity is x10 to that of Earth, but the actual planet is about 200m┬│ in size. But since there has been no information regarding the size of Namek, let's use the more obvious size.
Now, in regards to the time it took Goku to arrive there.
If we go by what was shown in the Dragon Ball Kai Episode, it takes Goku about 24 seconds to arrive, using 2:33 as the starting point and 2:57 as the ending point.

If we go by this video instead, which cuts scenes from Kai to make it closer to the manga, then Goku arrived in about 4 seconds, starting from 0:57 and ending in 1:01.

I will do calcs for both:
The Equatorial Circumference of Earth is 40,075 Km , so the Half-Circumference is 20,037.5 Km.
If Goku crossed this distance in 24 seconds:
Using this site (http://www.csgnetwork.com/csgtsd.html ), then Goku's travel speed is about 3,005,625 Kilometers per Hour. Using this website to convert Speed Values (http://www.unitarium.com/speed ) then we get that Base Goku's speed is about 0.002785c.
Since we know that an increase in Ki equals an increase in speed (Don't question Vegeta), then with the x400 multiplier for SSJ3, we have that Goku is AT LEAST 1.11400c, or x1.114 the SoL.
If Goku crossed Namek in 4 seconds instead of 24, then he would have been 6 times faster (24/4 = 6), therefore his Base Speed is:
0.002785c x 6 = 0.01671c
And his SSJ3 speed is 0.01671c x 400 = 6.68400c, or x6.68400 the SoL.
We also have to consider that Goku became astronomically more powerful since the Freeza Arc, so his speed as of the Buu Saga is likely dozens, if not hundreds of times greater.
So what are your thoughts? Are we to accept these results?
