So, 12 months late, but I eventually got a Raspberry Pi this Christmas :) :)

Using Raspmc I have already put Navi x & some of the Fusion repositories on it and I've changed the skin to Quartz

Are there any other tweaks I can do that are worth while??

 
not sure if it can be done in xbmc, but using respbian allows you to overclock (officially supported i might add), which boosts performance DRAMATICALLY. its really easy and officially supported by the raspberry pi developers - its integrated into the raspi-config utility in raspbian.
