I did some testing with an HDHR and channel switching in v5 real time mode actually takes about  500ms more then starting live tv because of the minor delay needed to stop the playing stream.

However the real difference between your log and mine is it is taking you around 4 seconds just to create the demuxer that starts playback and here is it around 500ms.  I am not sure how much of that is due to timeshift mode, but it would be noticable and outside the control of the addon.

Wow! Thank you for testing that! I really appreciate that.  Where can I change the time shift setting?  So it seems that it's not a Kodi issue but an issue that I am having.
