Too CPU intensive video playback

Hello,

i have old Pentium M 1.6GHz CPU with Porteus 3.2.2 XFCE booted and all video files are jerky/torn (do not know right english word, simply do not play fluently by any means) and the CPU is exhausted (98%+). I think the main CPU process is xorg. When i play same video on Kali Linux (live), the CPU usage is something like 20% and main process is "mpv" which is player. On Porteus i played with MPlayer Gnome and tried also others, but the same result. I had also xUbuntu on this PC and playback was also good. But not on Porteus.
