It serves as an adverb, and means "in no time at all." I think I've seen it written as pispás as well.

Ha, beat you by six seconds! hehe
BTW, Heidita, I've been wanting to ask you something. How is your nickname pronounced? As in English (jai-di-ta), or as in Spanish (ey-di-ta)

In Spain /jeidita/, the j like in the Spanish: jota
This happens frequently if the word is foreign. the h is pronounced like a j (jota)

Interesting that it's pronounced /jeidita/, which I take to mean that the /jei/ rhymes with day in English, because in English Heidi is pronounced to sound like high-D. This is because that is how "hei" is pronounced in German (as in Heil Hitler), from which the name comes.
Incidentally, "en un pis-pas" in Japanese is "A to iu ma ni," which literally means "the time it takes to say ah." I love expressions such as this. In this case, the English is boring by comparison to the Spanish and Japanese.
