I was thinking about "quick". It seems to be less literal about speed
if my feeling of English is good enough; the effect is indeed not just
speed.

They fit both as a description of the foreign function, and as a
request from an implementation (to make the call faster at the expense
of something).

The trouble with both is that they raise the question "shouldn't I
mark all FFI calls as fast, so they are faster?". They don't hint
at a cost of the optimization: faster at the expense of what?
