After playing with it today, I would say it feels slower and clunkier than RaspBMC on my Pi (on default RaspBMC overclocking settings). Even with the "optimised" OSMC skin (which I really dislike by the way) the GUI is hardly the snappy and smooth interface the developer would have you believe; when I switch to my preferred skin (Bello), and with the same skin settings as I use on the Pi (with animations and fanart backgrounds disabled), it definitely feels slower and clunkier. I was expecting a significant improvement from the higher spec Vero (and having paid significantly more for the privilege).
This is my overwhelming takeaway too so far. After a few days of using it now I am convinced that loading video and launching add-ons are pretty quick - but the GUI needs a massive performance boost.
