The speed of sound in any medium is directly proportional to the elasticity of the medium. For solids it has a direct relation with the bulk modulus of elasticity. As diamond is one of the hardest solids, its bulk modulus is among the highest.
Compression waves in diamond are not slowed as much because it is so much less compressible than gases, liquids, or less-dense solids.
