vdpau from the PPA is not the problem, the driver is. the ppa doesn't have nvidia driver yet, if ever as nouveau interferes with the driver, not sure if nvidia-current works?

Not sure how to test but uptime gives me :

After playing an 1080p movie on my N330 so I guess it works.

Tried to install XBMC on Lucid via the following commands:
> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc
> sudo apt-get update
> sudo apt-get install xbmc xbmc-standalone
> sudo apt-get update
Unfortunately, upon start, it is extraordinarily slow that I can basically not do anything. It is basically as frozen. I am just refering to the home screen, not even getting anything close to watching movies...

that's not too bad for the official repository, their usually months behind the nvidia releases.
but after waiting a few hours and wading through numerous failed to download messages with the minimal install as the servers were overloaded and then getting hash code errors with the nvidia download and then xbmc not let me add any directories, I gave up with lucid and went back to karmic. guess I should have checked the nvidia-current version first (195.36.24 is the latest from nvidia site) I know that the native nouveau driver doesn't support vdpau, but hearing that the repositories version is quite up to date I might try again.

hmm had to add upower and hal to the install list in order to get mine to shutdown from the menu (zotac ionitx - f) but it seems to be up and running now.

yes, that seem to work fine. Do you get usb mount to work? A few more packages are needed I think. Perhaps it is better to compile from svn.

I finally got a dedicated machine running Lucid and installed XBMC from ppa and for me it is still a bit sluggish and for some reason when I click on TV Shows it crashes.
I am using the Aeon Showmix skin and here is the crashlog http://pastebin.com/m4yzZ7Mb
