I think mostly because of dedication of the maintainer (Szabolcs
Szakacsits).  I don't claim fuse has a great part in it, except the
obvious advantages of developing in userspace: no kernel crashes,
easier debugging, etc...

And of course it could be ported back to the kernel (ntfs-3g is GPL
too), and that would probably result in even more speedups.  But
that's not a trivial task either.
