Your research is correct. Although the term 'slow' is pretty vast. I found  
FCP to be the slowest renderer ever. 
 
There are other choices out there also. Premiere and others are definately  
up to this task. 
 
That said.. I think it is a draw. Although you should base your choice on  
media management and storage concerns. Either program has more than enough  
capability to do a reality show. It is really a hardware issue. If it were  
my choice , since Apple is in the midst of a massive hardware revamp and  
they basically suck(opinion), I would go with a PC based rig that can run  
anything. Faster, cheaper, more support, more apps, more storage solutions..
