Ah - OpenELEC, yes. Will update it later - I think that one is already fixed.

Is it an intel onboard-gfx Problem, or why does the refreshrate-change (60hz to 24hz, 24hz to 60Hz) last such a "long" time ?
I compared the N3150 onboard gfx with Kodi 17 EGL to my old Nvidia GT610 with Kodi16.
My Nvidia needs about 2-3secs to change, N3150 needs 3-4secs to change.
It seems to be not so much longer, but when watching a movie, or switching between several movies, these seconds are really annoying.
Is there a change to "optimize" those switching times, or do I simply have to deal with it ?

It does not need anywhere that long on my setup. Core i3 haswell and N3150. Kernel up2date?

with the N3150 testbuild i used a 4.3.x kernel from the ubuntu kernel ppa (ubuntu 15.10, installed as stated in your first post).
I must say, that my tv needs a bit longer to show image after changing refreshrate, but with N3150 it last noticeable longer than on my old system with that Nvidia GT610.
I remembered that I had done tests wiht Kodi/intel several months ago, and that refreshrate changes also got remembered for longer times with intel.
So there is no chance in optimizing those times, wether it's intel or nvidia ?

Try from the commandline, just run:
DISPLAY=:0 xrandr -r 24
and measure time
DISPLAY=:0 xrandr -r 60
and see again

I can try, but only with my nvidia setup. The N3150 Boards got sent back, because of several things:
- refreshrate switching times
- often video-artefacts directly after switching tv-channels ( no problem with my nvidia setup)
- Kodi 17 still alpha and although many people already using kodi17egl / openelec egl , for me it's not ready for my "primetime".
I think I will test the intel platform again, when Kodi 17 is getting final and Intel got it's new successor out (maybe with 4k/60Hz and HDMI2.0?)

Whatever you prefer. Those builds are not for primetime, but for testing - and we don't developer kernel drivers.
