hi,

is this normal, that YAWCAM needs 20-30 percent of system-power on a 2,2 Ghz-machine?

thx alex

It all depends on the settings of the image size and quality.
Yawcam will also use less system power if someone is watching you over the Internet then if you watch yourself on the same computer.

So to answer your question: Yes, it can be normal.

On my 2.4 GHz machine Yawcam takes from 0% to 2% of the CPU when the ftp output is running. Everytime an image is grabbed the usage pops up to around 20%. But this also depends on the image size and quality.
I get these figures when I have the image size set to 320x240 and the quality to 75%.
