Quality of HDTV Xvids on XBMC?

I am thinking of getting an XBox just to get XBMC up and running. The XBMC FAQ and pretty much anything I've managed to google, say that XBMC can pipe out HDTV-quality picture only theoretically and that in practice the base XBox CPU is far too slow to decode an HDTV stream without jitter and dropped frames. Well, my question is this to those of you out there that do have XBMC installed: I don't get care about receiving HDTV itself, but I do download HDTV files from the 'net that are encoded in Xvid, DivX, etc. Does XBMC choke on those as well, or do they display OK?
