What playback profile are you using on those 8200s?  An 8200 is really 
awful in terms of performance.  Decoding is performed on a custom ASIC 
shared between all the nVidia cards, but deinterlacing is done on the 
graphics shader hardware.  You have the Advanced 2x deinterlacer 
selected, and I doubt an 8200 could use that filter in real time even at 
PAL resolutions.
