Idiom: as fast

Do I have to say "just as fast" or "equally fast", or is it possible to simply say "as fast"? For instance, is this sentence without error?:

What's gained at ease, is taken as fast.
  

Top answer

What's gained at ea se is taken away as fast. 'As fast' alone is fine. No idiom is involved.
