While a 737 cruises at 340 knots CAS (calibrated air speed), an ERJ 145 has a high speed cruising speed of 450 knots.

Add to that less leeway for some of the delays inherent to gates, and I could see that being the case.

You'll still lose time taxiing, waiting for take off and after landing, especially during busy times. I doubt they can make it in <1h block time.
