If you count unique events as well, the fastest known event would be the exponential expansion of the Universe during inflation which lasts from about $10^{-36},rm s$ to $10^{-32},rm s$ right after the Big Bang. In this time, the Universe grew by a factor of about $10^{26}$.
You have to note, however, that space itself expands, so you are not limited to the speed of light which would be the case for phenomena such as stellar explosions or pulsars.
