I have a suspicion that there might be a problem with slow smb shares on Mac. I also have a couple of NTFS shared drives so this might contribute to it.
Buffering occurs for me on every file I try to play.

I did notice while checking cpu usage in xbmc that it never gets below 30% of more, even just sitting at the menu screen or paused for a few hours, still around 30% usage. I also noticed that some files dropped a lot of frames (buffering is fixed though) and while I believe the files dropping frames were caused by the encoding it was odd to me that the cpu usage still didn't max out. I never saw it above 90% for more than a second or two, it was high cpu usage but it didn't look like it was 100% or close to it. Some files that were 720p (I forget the encoding right now) would drop half of their frames but still use only 70-80% of the cpu. Not sure what that is about but it's such a small number of my total videos I am not worried about it.
So just wanted to update this thread, once I updated to the latest code it looks like a winner for me on playback. Actually looks sharper than my Mac Mini running Plex but I believe that may be due to my post processing settings on the Plex box.
