| Oh well I couldn't be bothered to make a challenging thread about this but so far far I've encounted a pretty fast rotating neutron star. I mean I know there are some that rotate like 1500 times each second but, oh well... anyway here's a couple of screenies ^^
Maybe there are some of you who've spotted way faster ones. I think it's worth it to post and make a challenge. It's always about Earth-like worlds and largest stars and etc...
Oh well here they go:

| Those two are the same pulsars.
Certainly not the fastest pulsar out there, but it's a pretty quick rotating one.
Edit: Found one even faster than my previous. I'm not actively looking for neutron stars, but I am looking at them when I encounter one in a binary (or otherwise multiple) star system. I wonder if SE is programmed to generate millisecond pulsars?
