Hi,
I am running an HTPC (Core I5, 8GB internal, 64GB SSD) with XBMC Frodo 12.2, SKIN AEON and have installed the MQ5 expansion.
Most of it is working , besides the TV guide. But that is not the current question.
Thing is that switching a channel may take more than 10 seconds.
If I switch the channel in Argus itself this is done in about 2 seonds. Why?

Known issue with XBMC unfortunately - see the Mediaportal sub section on these forums, margro has posted a build which gives some improvement if you are using windows.

On linux with Mythtv + the latest mythtv add on code channel changes range from 2-4 seconds.
If you mean from a Linux client with argus then I doubt it will be any faster.

I don't know what's been done in Gotham, or whether it's ArgusTV itself, but in the Gotham Beta 3 running whatever the latest Argus version is (2.2.2 I think), channel changes (for HD are about 5 second for the first one and 2-4 seconds thereafter. Massive improvement and puts it in line with MythTV in linux as mentioned above.
Note, my machine is a little i3 1.4GHz, 4GB RAM so way down on the specs of the OP.

I was also fine with latest gotham but since I tried margro builds I'm damn faster now under 1 sec changes witch is near perfect.
There's no substitute for experience
