Hey, a fellow BeOS user!
I have been playing around with BeOS since R5 was released. I thought it was very awesome. Fast, sleek, and easy to control and use. It is unfortunate that Palm wont release the source on it. A great OS that many could learn from is going to be lost.
In response to your question as to why the system was so fast, I can actually answer that.
BeOS used embedded multi-threaded technology throughout its structure. That and the fact that it is sleek as can be made it very fast and stable.
