I think it probably has the first meaning, i.e. "It won't take me long to do this (so you won't have long to wait)."

'Just' has many meanings,

1. I just lost my keys (I lost my keys recently)
2. I just want to give you a kiss (I only want to give you a kiss)
3. That war is just (The war is right)

I hope this helps:)
