Yeah - that's why I write in this howto: Please select "Motion Compensated".
Bob and Deinterlace need CPU copying into systemmemory and then deinterlace either by OpenGL or they use ffmpeg's YADIF.
I had such patches ready some time ago, but could not remember anymore why I did not push them.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

The problem is:
There are still VAAPI GPUs that don't even support VPP_BOB - OpenGL works "everywhere" that's why it is the default.

Ok... well that sucks.
But then one could of course think on the following (being a developer myself):
1) detect the CPU (Kodi does this, "Host CPU: Intel® Celeron® CPU N3150 @ 1.60GHz...")
2) do some default presets, especially if these are very much underpowered CPU's like this one which definitely needs VAAPI BOB to actually work.
Of course this list would in theory be huge. But then it's maybe not actually required so much, just for underpowered CPU's that need some good defaults.
This is the first time after 4 different boards where in several years after using XBMC/Kodi I couldn't quickly figure out what the problem is and the issue occured "immediately".
Checking the forum to see what to do is a bit challenging I think (many threads maybe etc...). A wiki page would help, but even that is not super user friendly. "Install, use", that's how I perceive Kodi and I LOVE THAT about it!

I'm using 4.5.2-fritschsoc1+
Come to think of it I do have it clocked down in the BIOS to the most energy efficient setting.
To see just 35% would be even better though.

GFX stack on ubuntu 14.04 is too old, see if the xenial backports are already available for kernel and mesa or upgrade to ubuntu 16.04

Deinterlace on is always wrong. Thx to fernet it will be gone with v17.
