Heat up fastest in term of reach melting point and boiling point we would have competition between Potassium and Mercury. While potassium might heats fastest to boiling point of 257oC but it melts at 72.5oC where mercury was readily in liquid state at room temperature.

But for a real heat up fast, none would go faster than Thorium for its' lowest heat capacity of 0.113 J/mol.oC. Imagine heating a pot of water to the boiling point in 10 minute, It would took roughly 8 second for Thorium to go from the room temperature to 100 oC.
