Arcane Discovery, which means Wizard only (and anything else that can take one). It's in place of a feat, but I don't think there's a feat version.
That feat only prepares spells faster than normal in an already open slot.
What the poster is asking for is faster regeneration of expended spell slots than the standard 8 hour rest.
I'm sorry Drahliana Moonrunner, I mean an un-expended open spell slot to be cast later without much wait time. Sometimes 15 minutes to too long to replace an open spell slot.
The Arcane Discovery is what you're probably thinking of, then! It lets you get it down to a minute. Nethys probably has some feats/traits/whatever for a quick prep ability.
Also this feat Although it doesn't specifically call out preparing open slots, it is still preparing so should apply. I am not 100% sure if and how it stacks with fast study though. It should stack, reducing your prep time to 7 and half minutes with a minimum of 30 seconds.

That's the caution I always tell people who think that leaving all or the majority of their slots open is a good idea.
There is also the arcanist exploit quick study, similiar to ehat you are after, but limited to arcanist or archetypes that give access to exploits.
Ah, dragonhunterq That looks to be the only feat. I don't know if 7 1/2 munites is quick enough though.
The only Paizo mechanic that works faster is in mythic rules.
There is also This.
Requires Nethys.
Interesting thread. It's pretty common for me to play Wizards in home games, and I hadn't seen Magical Ephiphany and Brilliant Spell Preparation before. They look like they could be very useful.
I'm curious about people's thoughts on the following question though: When using these feats, do you still need to study your spell book during that standard action (as a Wizard)?
My reading of the feats RAW is that you would (I'm not sure about RAI). A Wizard normally prepares spells by studying his spellbook for a period of time. These feats lower the time requirement to one standard action for a single empty spell slot, but don't say they change the method otherwise.
What does everyone else think?

If 7.5 minutes is too long but a minute would be OK there's also the Magaambyan Arcanist prestige class. It gets down to a full round by 9th level (min character level 14).
Intoned Recollection (Ex): At 3rd level, by performing a special ritual, a Magaambyan arcanist can prepare a spell into an open arcane spell slot with 1 minute of preparation. The open spell slot cannot have been one that was filled previously that day and was expended; it must have purposefully been left empty at the beginning of the day when the Magaambyan arcanist prepared her spells. She must be able to read her spellbook or have mastered the spell with the Spell Mastery feat in order to prepare it with this ability. She doesn’t need to rest for 8 hours beforehand, but all other requirements of the preparation process still apply. At 9th level, she can do this as a fullround action, provided she has her spellbook in hand or has mastered the spell with the Spell Mastery feat. She can use this ability a number of times per day equal to her Intelligence modifier.
It is usually best to choose a solid complement of spells in advance and have some scrolls for emergencies at hand. Being informed of what lies ahead is an advantage here, if you can manage it.
Spending feats on that seems like a waste to me...even if I had bonus feats like a wizard.
hmmm... I mainly play wizards in PFS and often leave half my slots open. One just prepares them after the morning briefing. So timing and doing it when you have time.
Arcane Discovery (Req:5th CL): Fast Study (PFS)(as said above) 1hr->15min with 1 min min. Half your spell list in 7.5min.
Feat: Quick Preparation(PFS)(as said above). As with Fast Study 1 hr-> 30 min. Half your spell list in 15 min.
Feat: Magical Epiphany (worship Nethys)(PFS)(as said above). Prepare one spell in open slot as std actn.
Feat: Planned Spontaneity (CL 4)(PFS) might be of interest.
Feat: Preferred Spell (PFS) might be of interest...Bonded Object (PFS) - it's a free spell.
Rope Trick might give you a time out space to retreat to and prepare.
Of these options, for a PFS character, how many can you realistically stack, and how would they best combine? I'd guess it's based off the class, say a wizard, from level 1 to make it viable.
Looks like Quick Preperation works fine to start. Magical Epiphany seems valid as well, since it can be taken multiple times, it could make for a decent way to keep perp time fast until you can get Fast Study. Obviously the spellbook would need to be in hand, creating Avery classical wizard look, reading out of your spellbook to do magic, even in the heat of combat.
I'm pretty sure there's nothing that allows you to spontaneously cast the entire Cleric spell list, which is what you're basically asking for.
Not helpful for clerics but this is a great spell for wizards Psychic asylum

Technically, the Ecclesitheurge can through their bonded object.
Other clerics might be able to with Eldritch Heritage (Arcane).
Hmm, wizards get Scribe Scroll at level 1 - which is a nice tool to get some flexibility and some additional spells per day, when necessary. It costs some gold, but feats and traits can be more of a cost.
