The driver has automatic brightness control and changes constantly exposure time and signal gain. Unfortunately, changing exposure while streaming video with HDCS chips causes frames to be skipped. Alternatively, you have HDCS1020 sensor for which there might be a bug the qce-ga driver (it is fixed in CVS, but I'm not sure about the released version). Solutions: get CVS version of qce-ga (available from sourceforge via cvs or http://www.ee.oulu.fi/~tuukkat/quickcam/qce-ga-cvs.tar.gz) OR (I would recommend) use qc-usb which is next generation version of qce-ga with lots of extra functionality /and/ option to disable automatic exposure control (if that is which is causing troubles), http://www.ee.oulu.fi/~tuukkat/quickcam/qc-usb-cvs.tar.gz (or directly sourceforge cvs for even later version). I'm planning to release official 0.1 version of qc-usb this week or at least early next week (but then again, so did I spoke a week ago, and a few weeks ago...) Unfortunately, with Quickcam you don't get much better than 7.5 fps (or max 15 fps if you use subsampling/small window size or compressed mode in Quickcam Web/LEGO cam). You could, of course, complain to Logitech for providing no documentation but it would be useless.
