no really: it is not fast! not compared to the hypothetical native speed.

Of course it's not the hypothetical native speed, but even native apps don't reach this

That really depend what you're doing.
Some Amiga C compilers are way faster than VS on the pc.
Merely booting the machine is also faster.
And switching it off - it's simply different worlds.
Play Protracker module - 0% cpu use.
Decode Flac (with my program) - 90x real time (i believe it's enough ?).
So yes, AOS is fast. It's just running on underpowered hardware.
Changing the OS because the hardware is slow or the emulation isn't giving close to native speeds, is throwing the baby with the bathwater.
