I edited my post for clarification.
I use a widely available 8+ GB 720p DTS rip of Dark Knight as a reference file for XMBC. It makes it to about 2:30 before buffering. After about 4 minutes, XBMC crashes back to the Apple TV menu.
A 1080p 8+ GB NON-DTS rip of Ponyo will buffer every 30 seconds.
This is on a wired gigabit connection and both files are h.264.
Sorry, guys, I'm sure it will get there at some point. But right now it's just not viable for high-bitrate (8+ GB) movie files, which a lot of people have and which work fine with programs like PS3 Media Server, even over wireless G.
