'happening very quickly' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'times going after fellow being dishonest' is the wordplay.
'times' becomes 'by' (both can mean 'multiplied by').
'going after' says to put letters next to each other.
'fellow' becomes 'f' (abbreviation - of a society etc.).
'being dishonest' becomes 'lying' (synonyms).
'f'+'lying'='flying'
'by' after 'flying' is 'FLYING BY'.

'it's' is the link.
