So, the maximum percentage that you can reduce the time is 100 percent, which would mean that you do it in no time at all. But, it is impossible to do anything more than 100 percent faster than you normally take to do it, unless you believe in the concept of negative time. Just my opinion.
Come back here in say 100 years and suspect you will be able to go back in time.

After all they did do it on Star Trek.
