Long review process time problems?

I sent two different articles to two different mathematics journal. The fist one review process is 6 months(accepted). The second one is still under review(14 months ago) and it may be rejected. A third one took 9 months and editor said

"... the topic/content of your study is outside our journal's area of interest, we regret to inform you that we are unable to consider your manuscript for publication"

My questions

1. Is there any way to avoid time wasting in review process?


2. Are there journals with fast reviewing process?
