Of course it is fast. People even implemented it in QBasic 30 years ago.
I mean rather in practice as AES for example runs on chips (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AES_instruction_set ).

But RC4 is quite fast even on something like 6502 or Z80.
Besides, I wouldn't rely on complex and probably buggy hardware to perform such tasks these days.
