Any speed really will do. Even on modern day jet airliners the Time Dilation effect is measurable with very precise atomic clocks. Of course, its a very small amount, and you must travel at a significant fraction of the speed of light to experience a significant difference from a human perspective (e.g. at half the speed of light, the time dilation faction is about 1.15 (so time travels about 15% faster for everyone else than for you)). Though, to you, everything will 'feel' normal, as every atom in your body is experiencing the same effect. It's kinda weird (and by weird I mean awesome), but that's how it is.
Just for reference here's the equation:
t= t0/SQRT(1-(v/c)^2)
Where,
t = the time observed in the stationary frame (say Earth)
t0= 'proper time' the time in the moving frame (i.e. a spaceship, etc.)
v=velocity at which the moving frame is moving
c = speed of light

No matter how fast you go, time never slows down. Everything will appear perfectly normal to you, even though you are moving at 99.99% of the speed of light. What slows down is someone's observation of you from relative rest. That observer will see things happen to you that to him appear to go at a slower rate than the same kind of thing happening to him. You, however, will not see any change in your environment, and unless you look at other objects outside of your frame of reference, you could not tell how fast you are going.

Thts practically impossible as of now. You need to fly at the speed of light to slow down the time.

Any speed that is faster then the one compared to at rest. it will be incrementally small but the time dialation therory will still hold up. it's been physically proven.

Refer to Albert Einstine !!

At 186,000 miles per second you should start to feel time slowing.

the mathematical relation between time and the velocity of a body is given by :-
t = t'
----------------------------------------
square root of ( 1 + (v*v/c*c))
so you start moving and time dilation will be observed...
