The quick and dirty way to check your usage is to replace “who” with “he” and “whom” with “him.” If it makes a functional sentence, you’re probably right.
“Whom is quicker?” becomes “Him is quicker.” Not good.
“Who is quicker?” becomes “He is quicker.” That works.
By contrast: “This graffiti was done by whom?” becomes “This graffiti was done by him.”
I wonder how long in will be before someone paints over that, and then how long until it’s written again. Whom is quicker?
Did I use “whom” right?

I don’t think so
Who is the subject (nominative), whom the object (dative/accusative).
