It's the refresh speed of the eInk display. Nothing to do with the CPU speed of the Reader except, perhaps, in the case of extremely complex PDF pages.

Also, do you think the upcoming readers (NAEB, Kindle, etc.) will be any faster?

Vapourware products can be as fast as you want them to be, of course!
Any physical device that's built with the same screen technology is going to have the same refresh speed.
You know, by the way, that if you press and hold the page forward/back buttons it'll jump 10 pages at a time?
