   Well your patch significantly improved performance.  If you want to hack at 
this plugin, please feel free to commit as you see fit.  I think it's almost 
possible to ship a beta with this!  I would appreciate some reports from 
users who experienced "ripping" or other problems with V4L.  Does this fix 
it?  I have 11.5% CPU usage in total over the three processes here.

  Koos: great work!
