The beaglebone comes with an older version of Cloud9 IDE preinstalled. (cloud9 is a node app) So I would say, yes, it can be done.
I imagine it's fast enough relative to the CPU power. Node on smart phones could get > 1000 request/second on the simple http hello benchmark. Startup time will matter a little. I estimate around 300ms for the beagleboard. And each node process starts at about 10mb of ram. That matters in small devices. (On a side note, if you like the idea of node, but aren't set on using JavaScript, my luvit project works about the same as node except in lua, but is much leaner and a bit faster.)
