[Bug 610600] [NEW] Serious video performance regression 2.28.1->2.30.1

[James Ferguson]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cheese

Ubuntu version: 10.04
Cheese version: 2.30.1
Hardware: Dell Latitude 2110 netbook - Intel Pinetrail CPU
Settings: minimum resolution - 160x120

Expected behavior: Start recording movie, recording starts promptly.

Actual behavior:

Screen is mostly frozen for ~14 seconds, and then recording appears to
start tolerably.  Karmic's (2.28.1) performance was pretty poor, but the
delay was around 4 seconds.

To give the netbook a chance I set resolution to a minimum resolution.
At higher resolutions, like 640x480, the machine just can't keep up at
all.

This has been observed on other hardware, and on a Core2Duo machine this
startup performance is still very bad (though not quite so bad).  Other
apps, and gstreamer from the command line, do not seem to suffer the
same problems.
