Apps are "faster" for many reasons:
1. It doesn't have anything running in the background.
2. Most apps are programmed on one language (does the iPhone support other then C++/C/ObjectC?)
3. It's running at half the resolution of the N900.
4. It doesn't use GTK + X server + a window manager to handle stuff.
And so on...
Jailbreak an iPhone and make it multitask, then ask again.

P.S, interesting use of tags...
I would also like to add that IMO most free apps at the app store are either worthless...fart apps... or lite versions of the full game which in IMO is just a demo to persuade you into paying for the real deal.
at least these are what I have personally seen...nothing good that's also free.

while on Maemo/the N900 they're developing stuff for free, which I believe is noble; they're already paying the time and the hard work into producing something useful for the community, then asking for them to hurry it up is plain ...(a******holic)
oh and I never saw a useless app for the N900.
