The productive intensifying prefix 'super-' clearly modifies 'fast' to mean 'very quick', so learners can derive the meaning.
Etymology
Superfast is made from super and fast. Super comes from a Latin word meaning 'above' or 'very' and is used in words like superhero and supermarket, and fast means 'quick', so superfast means 'very quick' or 'much quicker than usual'.
