Sought and found in the wild, after discussion of "that good a looking man":

Its not that fast an acting solution... it takes a hundred miles or so to burn it out.

This was the only Google hit for "that fast an acting". Later, I'll look for more "that|how|too" + [gradable adjective] + "a(n)" + [present participle that forms compound with gradable adjective].
