Take a mobile single-tasking OS, put it on a 1GHz chip, use a SSD... it should be fast. I don't think the processor has as much to do with it as people are touting.
Maybe not, but iPhone has all of those things except the chip. iPad is supposedly much faster. Therefore, I'd say the processor is probably the main reason.

The iPhone has a 600MHz processor. I'd hope the iPad running a 1GHz processor would be much faster. So far I see no indication that there's anything special about the processor.
Multitasking on a 1GHz processor isn't that shabby, so I would expect single-tasking to be much faster.
