Ubuntu/Unity doesn't even manage to run smoothly on my 8GB RAM, 6 core machine. I don't want to imagine how it would run on a TV.

It runs like butter on my 4 core 2gb laptop. Anecdotes are anecdotes.

Well it was an anecdote but there are many people out there experiencing the same. (Google) Probably some problems with the drivers for AMD graphic cards. Even after disabling all the 3D effects, etc. the UI has a significant response delay. Same on my Asus EEE PC which features a whole different configuration.

Negative anecdotes are still useful as proof by counterexample, though.
