I can say that here (c2q q6600, 8800gt) for the samples that work, almost 100% of the decoding is offloaded.
When playing a 1080P sample of Gladiator, cpu usage sits at < 1%. Compare that to ~80% without the vdpau.
VERY few movies actually work, though I'm sure this will be remedied soon.
I think the possibility of smooth 1080p playback with a VERY lightweight CPU and a decent nvidia chipset >= 8xxx is a reasonable one.
