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.
