The Core Pocket Media Player is a good choice. Plays DivX as well as other media files at a pretty good quality.

Yes, yes, and yes. Use TCPMP. Think about paring down your ROM, too.

The video still plays very slowly - about 10fps - would it be faster on a wm5 ?

I don't think WM5 will be any faster. The playback speed depends mostly on the format, size and quality of your video. In most cases you'll need to reencode your videos to 320x<something>.
I use this program for it:
http://www.pocketdivxencoder.net/
Easy setup, rather fast encoding. I usually use PDA setting, video quality 9-12, audio quality 4-5, 2-pass encoding (longer process but better quality), VHQ, no audio normalization and the rest at default setting (including orientation).
Also make sure that you have the video driver in TCPMP set to "raw framefuffer" (it's in options/video)

I use SUPER (http://www.erightsoft.com/S6Kg1.html) to achieve the same ends, but the advice is still good. Download directly...here (http://www.erightsoft.biz/GetFile.php?SUPERsetup.exe). This link is hard to find for some people.
