I would guess a lot of the improved responsiveness is down to the extra 96MB of RAM (Magic : 288MB, G1: 192MB). Added to that the extra flash storage (Magic: 512MB, G1: 256MB) and it's generally going to be a better experience.
The only weird thing is the Magic uses an older processor (Magic: Qualcomm MSM7200A from 2007, G1: Qualcomm MSM7201A from 2008), could the Magic have been the original Android phone but the virtual keyboard was proving a bit of a b**ch?

Is the Magic hardware better, or is it just a different configuration of the same basic machine?
