There is no scientific measurement for how "fast" an operating system is. You can only compare things like:

1. How fast an operating system boots. The fastest booting desktop distro is probably Mach Boot.

2. How much or how little RAM / processor power the system needs to run. The desktop distro with the lowest system requirements is probably Damn Small Linux.

3. How little space it requires. Tiny Core Linux requires only 10 MB for a very basic desktop system

4. The desktop that can best take advantage of hardware, such as video cards. Foresight Linux is designed to show off the latest Linux desktop environments, all with flashy effects and stuff.
