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..
