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)

Pretty happy now after testing the 20141129 nightly and setting De-Interlace (yadif), far less flickering when viewing mpeg2 interlaced content.

In fact the best live TV picture quality I have even seen on my 2011 i5 iMac ever. and the Mac barely breaks a sweat.

Thanks guys !

I don't see anything like that when I play interlaced content. Let me know if you want me to test anything more specific.

Nothing like that here either.

I now also tested by playing films from my own hand held HD-camera (shaky 1080P 60i .MTS files at 30Mbit/s), with Yadif enabled it takes about 120% processor on my i7 macmini and 150% processor on my i5 Macmini (both 2011 and 2012 models). Not a hiccup so far.
