Regarding netrunner's virtual time.

Question

It has been made explicitly clear that when in scan mode (as seen in the game and described in the no coincidences novel) time moves much slower for the netrunner. Obviously, this is no sandevistan, but given the nature of this ability isn't this essentially a something akin to a mix of kerensikov+sandevistan when active? Kerenzikov users are described in the lore as having super human reaction speeds, which obviously aren't always active in the game because that would be broken as hell. Sandevistan essentially puts the user in bullet time, so why don't netrunner's aren't able to use this slowdown and fight similarly to kerensikov? I understand that they wouldn't be able to move fast like a sandevistan, but at that time speed they should at the very least have reaction speeds on par with kerensikov.
