Let's take Boxee completely out of the picture for a moment. Do you see any type of performance issues with the second display running other software? How about playing a video in a web browser or Windows Media player and moving it over to taht screen?
I installed VLC (hadn't gotten around to do it yet) and it has no problems playing on the TV. Installed XBMC, doesn't have any problems either playing videos on the TV.
In Boxee, as soon as I select to use the second screen (TV) and Test, movement starts to be jerky. I tried playing a videofile with Boxee on the TV. After it had tried to open it for playing for about 5 minutes, I didn't bother waiting anymore. With Boxee on the small screen, it played without any problems, using about 25 - 40% CPU. It was bouncing between 70 and 100% when in the menus.
