Depends very much on your criteria for "fast":
- Fast-starting?
- Fast when doing CPU-bound number-crunching things?
- Fast when doing lots of procedure calls (e.g., "tak")
- Fast when doing single-character I/O (read-char)?
- Fast when doing line-oriented I/O (read-line)?
- Fast when doing structured Scheme "read"?
- Fast when generating & abandoning large amounts of garbage?
- Fast when <measured some other way>?

Each of these taken as a criterion may skew you towards a particular
implementation. The only thing you can do is try some code which is
typical of *your* application and see which works best for you.

Having said that, try any of:
- SIOD [caveat: not R[45]RS-compatible, but *fast*-starting]
- MiniScheme/TinyScheme (ditto)
- MzScheme/DrScheme
- SCM
- Gambit-C
- Elk
- etc....
