I suppose that even in our system currently, 1 second is all but a reference.
If we were to take rotation of the planet as a reference to time, notice that different planets have different length of year respectively, for example Uranus takes 88 days to complete its rotation. But in its perspective, it has completed one Uranus year.
So by that logic, I suppose even if the time perception is different, the life span of human is unaffected. While there are fictions e.g. Superman or even Einstein's theory; when one move with the speed of light, time becomes relative (or something).
Einstein's theories is far from fiction.If we were to take rotation of the planet as a reference to time, notice that different planets have different length of year respectively, for example Uranus takes 88 days to complete its rotation. But in its perspective, it has completed one Uranus year.

All of it have experimental evidence and even technological application that you might not be aware off.
Topic in hand, i guess due process of evolution, life on earth would definitely be affected by shortened days.
