"Lightning fast" is probably the most-recognised expression for "very fast" in English too. Not sure that there's an obvious candidate for "very big". And we have "stinking rich" and "dirt poor". A few more: "stone deaf", "stark naked", "blind drunk", "certifiably insane", "squeaky clean", "dog tired", "piping hot", "ice cold".
