Distinguish from sense 1: sense 2 describes how soon after an event something happens (a short time interval), not how fast the action itself is performed. For example, 'The taxi arrived quickly' (sense 2 — the taxi came soon after being called) differs from 'The taxi drove quickly' (sense 1 — the taxi was moving at high speed).
