My guess: it generates captures 1 by 1 (so not de whole batch) and does very
limited sorting. Very carefully optimized assemblercode. Waste no ticks. Hardly
any endnode eval (only pawns/kingsafety).

I hear Junior is even faster than Fritz, nowadays, nps wise.

Does Fritz throw out SEE wise losing captures? I don't know. Probably not. If
so, and you would factor in the nodes it does not SEE prune it's NPS would be
lower. But still pretty good.
