I don't think either is true.

- they support less software so they have fewer bugs to start with
- they support fewer architectures and fewer configuration choices so 
their fixes are simpler
- they pay people to work on Ubuntu so the get things done quicker (more 
hours per day spent on the distro)
- they may well have different standards as to what constitutes a 
release critical bug
