Thanks alot! xcompmgr is definitely takes less than compiz that I've tried
to use.

False alert, I guess I had left a remote session to HTPC from other
computer, so that caused high CPU usage.
Right now I've set with XV video and I have about 12-15% CPU with cheap
tvtime (mplayer mode) deinterlacing
and 18-20% CPU with non-cheap deinterlacing mode which in my opinion gives
best results I could find so far.

OpenGL takes about 2-3% more than that.
