No it primarily uses EFL & HTML5

MeeGo (proper) can (or at least could) be installed in the N900. IMO years of development, no advancement. Seems to be more of a hobby for a few geeks than an OS meant to be used for everyday tasks. It doesn't even look like Nokia was into it at all.
Years? The full re-gearing for Qt only started about Q4 2009, that was a huge undertaking.
The MeeGo project started about January 2010....
The problem mainly (ofc there's several other factors) was that it all got moving too late, not that it was horrendously slow.
There was also project issues with the Harmattan's (not MeeGo) UX, that delayed the original Dec 2010 deadline*

*which was a bit ambitious anyway; easy to say all this stuff in hindsight.
