It's very possible that as soon as you feel like you're really getting a quicker whistle, someone will tell you that you need to hold the whistle a little.
I've come to realize that on violations you do need a pretty quick whistle, but on a lot of fouls you can let the play develop a little and try to let the players play through. That's more true the higher up you go.
As usual, I recommend going to watch as many top level varsity games in your area as you can. Try to see 8 or 10 during the season. Watch carefully how others in your locale are quick or slow on an infraction. Try to feel a rhythm to it. Especially, go see the folks who told you to be quicker. It's at least remotely possible that they say one thing and do another. Their words don't necessarily represent the reality of how they do it themselves.
Ask around a little about general philosophies on this topic. And as you are trying to move up, find a good mentor who you can talk to about these things. This is the best tool for improvement.
