I ordered a HD Homerun and it will be here next week. Which of the backends have fast channel switching through XBMC?

XBMC has currently two groups of PVR addons, those with an internal demuxer (TVHeadend, VDR-VNSI, XVDR and soon MythTV) and those without (all others like: ArgusTV, MediaPortal, NextPVR, MythTV).
The PVR addons with an internal demuxer have in general fast channel switches.
The PVR addons without demuxer rely on XBMC/ffmpeg for the demuxing which is considerably slower.
My test builds contain a few changes that speed-up the internal XBMC demuxing process for Live TV. These changes can be found in this pull request: PR3590. These changes have no effect for TVHeadend and VDR.
