It would be interesting to calculate how time is being warped in that system.

Barely at all.

You have to get up in the high 90s (% speed of light) to get significant relativistic effects.

Not much. Time Dilation

At 1% of c, the time dilation factor is 0.99995 (the clock on the orbiting object runs at .99995 times the rate of the clock "standing still")
