2) H264 video files plays very nicely up to 720p. For 1080p h264 videos it pauses every 5 seconds or so. The cpu load when playing H264 720p video is about 60% and it goes over 90% when playing 1080p video. The fast forward and fast backwards does not yet work. Skip works fine but you got some grey screen initially when you do the skip.
3) Plugins are really slow as I mentioned which is likely due to high CPU load whilst idle. It took about 10 seconds for the plugin to execute
4) Have not tried.
Will try the advantaged setting tonight.

1) How is the UI ? Is it responsive ? How is CPU load going back and forth between menu ? To see cpu usage, you need to enable debugging under system settings.
2) How is media playback ? Flash ? Apple Trailers ? 1080p ? Any drops in frames ? Cpu usage ? You can see this information by pressing "o" during playback.
3) Have you tried any plugins ? Icefilms, NaviX, Youtube, etc
4) How is the video,music library feature on it ? Scanning content ? Going through different views ?
Here is couple of advanced settings that I use to make my Apple TV 2 XBMC experience a bit better:
Code:<advancedsettings>
<network>
<cachemembuffersize>30242880</cachemembuffersize>
</network>
<fanartheight>560</fanartheight>
<thumbsize>256</thumbsize>
<gui>
<algorithmdirtyregions>3</algorithmdirtyregions>
<nofliptimeout>0</nofliptimeout>
</gui>
<bginfoloadermaxthreads>2</bginfoloadermaxthreads>
</advancedsettings>
What skin are you using?
I have heard using the new confluence-lite skin improves the responsiveness. Can u pls try that as well.
What about any other ultra light skins.
