Polonius is talking to the king and queen about his theory on Hamlet. He is saying that quickness is the very heart of wit. Have you ever heard a joke that is dragged on forever, so when the punchline comes it really isn't funny anymore? That's what Polonius is saying. It's ironic that it would be Polonius, who drags everything out forever, is saying this.
If we hear an opportunity to joke we have to speak quickly, or it's not witty.
