Unlike radeon cards nvidia cards do not support yv12 overlays afaik.
The windows driver does the yv12 to yuy2 conversion with some kind of dma 
blits first.
However this would require some more enhancements in the dhahelper
module. One could use rivatv as reference. This won't be done by me
because I only have an old riva128 card which does not support the blits
used in rivatv. Moreover there is no documentation so implementing alll this 
is difficult.
You can almost always able use the -dr command line switch.
This should compensate the speed difference a bit.

./configure --with-codecdir=codecs --enable-static

Sometimes it is a bit tricky to get them detected by
the configure script.
