The odds of bumping into anything even in the very densest stellar cluster is so small as to be essentially zero.
(This sounds like the grumpiest nerd grump ever, but I guess I will stand by it, even though I do not want to seem grumpy. I should work in a joke or something.)

Plus, I mean, I guess I should clarify myself. You aren't going to run into a star or a planet unless you mean to. On the other hand, you'd probably collide with a fair number of dust particles, which at serious speeds will do serious damage. But, I mean, they don't seem to be traveling in completely regular space anyway.

Anyway, I think my original argument holds - for whatever reason, I think they're flying in second gear until they leave the Milky Way. We should hopefully hear in a matter of hours now about the ACTUAL transit time to Pegasus with a human ship equipped with an Asgard hyperdrive...

Isn't the effect for Super-Amazing Speed different than the one for just regular speed (which was the effect being used in this episode) anyway?

Sometimes, IIRC. The Goa'uld cargo ship that O'Neil modified to SA speed did indeed have a different effect, but the Asgard hyperdpace effects tended to be the same as always. Gonna have to confirm that, though.
