Most other people are using it without the delay you're experiencing.  
Really. They are.

Other software is not doing what mythtv is doing. Other software is  
not buffering to a new file for 2-3 seconds while the channel is  
changed. If you can make MythTV skip this buffering while retaining  
the same functionality we have all come to expect, please post a patch.
