go/run like greased lightning
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/greased_lightning
Etymology
From greased + lightning, believed due to the observation that greased machinery tends to run faster, and the notion that if a lightning strike (the fastest normally observed movement) could be greased, it might move even faster. Originally US usage but soon well known in UK due to Thackeray's use in 1848 (see cite).
Noun
greased lightning (uncountable)
Something incredibly fast (now mainly used in comparison: like or faster than greased lightning)
