In VLC’s preferences, note the setting for “Use GPU accelerated decoding” — on most systems with modern graphics hardware this should be checked, but is not by default.

VLC Preferences — Input and Codecs settings — use GPU accelerated decoding
VLC Preferences — Input and Codecs settings — use GPU accelerated decoding

This setting does not seem to be available in OS X versions of VLC.
