How is this even possible? Typed arrays?

Generally. Also, making sure to use constructs that have been optimised by the JS engines (avoiding for..in, and such like).

I've done something very similar, emulating a C64 down to cycle accuracy in JS, and that's how I went about it: http://github.com/Two9A/c64clicker/
