Both the original video codec (HEVC) as the codec you choose for transcoding (mpeg4) are unsupported by your hardware. And because your hardware is not very powerful, you have bad performance. At least choose a codec that has hardware support and on your hardware, the only valid choice is H264 which is the only codec having hardware support for both encoding and decoding on your hardware.

I don't know if it has any importance, but I am doing the encoding on a powerful AMD computer. The files are normally shared via NFS, but I have also tried copying them to the laptop.

As you did not share the output of your FFmpeg command there is not much else than guesswork.

You did not ask for it, I did not know you wanted it, sorry. Which of them do 
you want, all? I'll post the one for libx264 that you suggested.
