'comparatively' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adverbs. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

(Other definitions for faster that I've seen before include "More speedy" , "Speedier" , "One refuses to eat" , "Person going hungry" , "A person who refuses to eat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
