I think those ARE cumulative. I don't see why magic would be "more
compatable"- there are only so many ways to speed a person up and the
methods used by magic are physical (for health spells and for adepts)-
they proably overlap with those used by cyber.
In fact, my character used Kamikazee 3 times, and had a wired 3
reflexes and a load of bioware. One more time, and it would all be gone
(8 body). They wouldn't likely mention that rule and not mention
incompatbilty with other speed boosts.
The effect was pretty extereme, but the real benefit was in the 4
boxes of damage you get to ignore.
