Hi That's a good question. I believe it means "very close to the moment that we are talking about and hardly a moment before that' - I went into his office to see him but I just missed him Dave

Hi
Sorry it's taken a couple of days to respond
In that context, I would say that 'hardly' means 'not quite'. I suppose it's an idiomatic way of saying 'less than a moment'
- How fast did you do that?
- It took less than a moment
= It took hardly a moment
