The geometry is not very compact at all and you will be able to go as fast as on any other fixed gear/singlespeed assuming everything equal (wheels, tyres, gearing etc,.) The only oddity with geometry is the long TT which needs a short stem.
As an example of compactness, I am 5' 10" with 33" inside leg and this is how much seatpost is exposed so not exactly compact.
