I added apport information from my laptop. The issue can also be noticed due to 100% cpu usage just to display the video stream from the webcam in cheese's photo mode. I believe that the cause of the problem is the lack of hardware acceleration. Pixels are drawn on the screen using only the cpu instead of going through the regular display interface.
I'm able to play a 720p movies on my hardware (decoding+display), so why can't cheese display a low resolution video stream ?
Thanks for the great work !
