I think novelty of a moment relative to your recorded memories affects how you perceive the duration of that moment. More novel moments are perceived as lasting longer.
As life goes on novelty of new moments goes down.
You could say this explains or underlies the Janet model.
But one can seek out novelty to slow down time. In the extreme you could “reset”, move away from everything you know, and start from scratch.
I have no evidence for any of this other than my own perception. Does anyone know where to find more discussion on this topic?
