ArgAsm isn't a 6502 assembler though, it is for the 68000. 
There is at least one 6502 assembler on the Fish disks (I believe it was
called As6502), but I haven't tried it.

I did get that speed on my Amiga (A2000 with 68010) when assembling a file
with 30.000 NOP-instructions (and a RTS) assembling from ArgAsm's editor
ArgEd. 
Normal use is not quite as fast, ArgAsm reports around 150.000 lines per minute
when I'm using it (not including disk I/O & not using ArgEd). 
It is still substantially faster than Devpac2 for example.
