Wonder why posted that when I just said it would benefit, and even the stuff you quoted said so in more words .
In essence, it doesn't improve playback speeds one single bit. It will however reduce the likelyhood of memory crashes wich are quite frequent if you enable all features in xbmc and play a high res file (xvid ex. as those work fine 720 most of the time). Or just enable noise filter and/or PP (yea i know it's not available from gui).
