MythTV lets you choose any form of deinterlacing you want. XvMC or not.
However, chosing anything OTHER than BOB will make your life a living

The 9th column in Top is the cpu usage for a particular process. Several

Is top accurate enough? X should be pretty

Nope, remember to play 1080i bobbed to 60 frames/second, you are
