I also noticed that the various QuickCam apps flicker whenever you use
the mouse or keyboard; I would assume that this is because the camera

I dunno about system load; I'll leave that to the amazing people on
this list who know enough about the camera's innards to build what is
a set of very cool programs, even at this stage in time.
