Virgin Emb190

A question for any Virgin Emb190 Crew (Mods If posted in wrong section please feel free to move, thanks).
I am often at Hervey Bay Airport (at least once weekly over the last year) and have noticed that on landing, just how quickly the aircraft stops and usually well before the RPT turn off.
It then appears to me to be very slow in the taxi to the turn off and apron. Is there any operational/technical/crew reason for what appears to be a slow taxi speed compared to other jets (B737/B717)?
I have no ulterior motif for this question, just interested as to why this might be.
