This is really _not_ normal and should have nothing to do with 2.2/2.3. Please
send me the related part of your syslog, the /proc/cpia, /proc/parport,
/proc/interrupts, /proc/dma and all other information regarding your
parport/webcam hardware and the test you did (program your run, load on the
machine etc.). You should really get about 30pfs in QCIF autocompression mode
depending on the camera settings (targetting, sensor frame rate, ...). At least
I do get it. :)
