I was using it and getting lots of crashes however I realised I had made a lot of changes since first setting up XBMC on my ATV2. One in particular was causing the ATV2 to crash when browsing my movies folder, very similar behaviour to what you are experiencing.
I had installed and setup lots of skins, installed and uninstalled plenty of plugins, and messed around with my library continuously. I figured if I was going to give Cirrus Extended a chance to work properly I would spend the time restarting. I uninstalled XBMC and deleted the XBMC folder in Preferences. Reinstalled XBMC from the nightly (currently running 20110926-6c08a58 Sep 26th) and Cirrus 2.06 from SVN.
I have re-added all of my libraries (whilst waiting forever for my music to scrape), and reconfigured the skin. The only thing I left different was not updating to a more advanced weather plugin, the basic one is serving me fine. Now I have everything running flawlessly, no crashes, good response times, perfect!
Hope this helps, it can be a pain starting over but in my case I am extremely happy with the decision to do so.
