Deinterlacing on my Windows and Linux machines works fine in XBMC, it uses DXVA/VAAPI which enables the hardware deinterlacing to be done on the GPU. No sweat for the CPU while playing 1080i content in great quality, better than most STBs.
My i7 OSX machine which is way faster than those has it's CPU usage at 70%-80% while playing 1080i content, in not so great quality.
There was a thread about this a good 11 years ago, I wonder if newer OS X versions are still incapable of hardware deinterlacing?

(btw: VLC is not able to do this on any platform)
