Probably not, would be my guess.
I just tried it on my 256 megabyte machine. It took 1-2 seconds to
change channels, once I hit ENTER on the remote. Usually the video was
frozen during that time. Startup of Live TV took longer, and was a
little excessive (around 10 seconds, but I didn't time it.)
It's odd that some people are seeing longer times than others. Part of
it may be system complexity. I'm not doing anything fancy -- no HDTV,
no set-top box to communicate with, nothing like that.
