Two of my favorites for both ease and speed are;

The U-jagd Chronometer

If you're using TDW's New UIs 6.9.0 then just right click on your clock and that will become the U-jagd chrono. One drawback to this method is that you must ID the target to get her length which, in any case, is a good idea unless you aspire to be named a war criminal. It's my favorite method for most occasions. For a great Stoianm tutorial as to how to use the U-jagd chrono go here;

The one minute method

Plot the course of your target on the NAV or TAI map as has been mentioned several times in the posts below but mark the times for only one minute rather than 3'15'' or 5' and then use your ruler to measure that one minute in meters. Multiply the result in meters by .032 and you'll have the speed in knots.

With this method you don't need to ID the target and it is one the fastest methods when things get rushed. It's drawback is that you have to do a little plotting work.
