The fast line is the unsmoothed version of the same range calculation, so it reaches the extremes far more often than the smoothed %K and leaves them sooner.
Here the reading entered overbought territory 7 times, with a median stay of 5 minutes and a longest of 55. The gap between this page's visit count and the smoothed Stochastics page for the same session is a direct measure of how much the smoothing removes.
