I have an embedded device, based on "apalis-imx6" board.
Previously, I had an yocto Linux BSP image based on a "pyro" layer with the GStreamer v1.10.0.
using following pipeline to see the web-camera stream:
gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src ! image/jpeg,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=30/1 ! imxvpudec ! imxipuvideosink sync=false
I had the CPU load ~8 %
But, right now, after updating to the yocto layer "thud", with the GStreamer v1.14.4
I had the CPU load ~45%
A degradation is about 5-6 times... that is not acceptable.

UPD: Also I have created a bug: Unacceptable performance degradation between gst v1.10.0 and v1.14.4 · Issue #232 · Freescale/gstrea...
So, is any workaround to fix this issue?
