Same situation here. We are running 4 SSIDs on each AP with out
problems. You should keep it to minimum though. Each SSID will be
beaconing, which is causes more busy time. If you have the setup for it,
you could do what Mike is suggesting and have your RADIUS control who
goes in what VLAN on what SSID.

Hi all,
I'm considering configuring a number of our Cisco 802.11G access points
to use dual SSIDs to accommodate two vlans. Can anyone comment on how
dual SSIDs will effect performance? I could just deploy additional
access points, but I was looking to try this first as it would be a free
solution.
Thanks!

No problems on ours. I'm sure the AP does more work to broadcast
multiple SSIDs, but we've 4 on some of ours, and we've not noticed any
issues.
We've 1231G, 1242AG, 1142N, all running autonomous. I presume you're
able to run a vlan out to the AP per ssid.
If anything,IMHO, it'd be better to run multiple SSIDs on one set of
radios in a space, so you don't have interference issues.
