Compared to what?  Compared to an 8-bit or 16-bit home computer: no.
Compared to PCs at the time: yes.  Compared to a contemporary VAX: by
a lot.

   USD GBP Year Model
   149     1985 C64 (64KB RAM)
   699 499 1987 Amiga 500 (512KB RAM)
       799 1987 ARM Archimedes 305 (512KB RAM)
      3500 1989 ARM R140 (4MB RAM, 60MB HDD, RISC iX, no ethernet)
      1995 1990 ARM R225 (8MB RAM, RISC iX)
      3995 1990 ARM R260 (8MB RAM, 100MB HDD, RISC iX)
      
  6499     1986 Compaq DeskPro 386 Model 40 (1MB RAM, 40MB HDD)
  3769     1987 MacIntosh II (1MB RAM, no HDD for this price)
  5000     1987? MicroVAX II KA620 (1MB RAM)
 81000     1989 MicroVAX 3800
120200     1989 MicroVax 3900 

The MicroVAX II KA620 seems to be a special model ("a single-board
MicroVAX II designed for automatic test equipment and manufacturing
applications which only ran DEC's real-time VAXELN operating system"
<https://alchetron.com/MicroVAX>; all VAX prices are from that site).

The question of performance came up:
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Archimedes_performance.svg> shows
that the Acorn Archimedes using ARM2 without cache ran Dhrystone at
2.8 times the speed of a VAX-11/780, and the ARM3 with 4KB cache ran
DhryStone at 10.5-15.1 times the speed of the VAX-11/780.  The graph
also shows the competition in the home computer and PC space, and
gives sources for the numbers.

>Without caches, did they have to use faster (and therefore more expensive) 
>memory?

The ARM Archimedes used a 32-bit memory interface which was apparently
a lot more expensive than the 8-bit memory interface of the C64 and
the 16-bit memory interface of the Amiga 500.  Other than that, I
don't think there was much in the way of DRAM speed grades at the
time.  Marketing high-speed DRAM to the gullible seems to be a rather
recent development.

>Or did they fall back on the classic “wait states”?

Wait states make no sense is the CPU has no chance to do other work
during the wait states (as for the ARM2), so I doubt that.  I expect
that what they did was to just use the clock that the RAM supported.
They used an 8MHz clock.
