XBMC for Windows uses the FFmpeg open source codec-suit inside our own in-house developed video-player, (not MPlayer, nor any external codecs).
There is nothing that you can do or tweak unless you are C-programmer who have the skills required to make FFmpeg open source codec-suit code decode H264 faster. Note though many others who does have the skills required are working on optimizing and bettering FFmpeg on a daily bases, ...my guess is by the end of this year XBMC using FFmpeg will be able to decode H264 just as fast as CoreAVC can today.
PS! As a non-programmer the only thing you can do today to get XBMC to decode video faster is buy a faster CPU.
