Hi, You will be able to get at most 150 MHz pixel rate with 8 bit, 75 MHz with 12-bit (it is actually 16 bit) - these are maximal ratings according to datasheet. So with mt9p031 it is possible to get the full frame rate - it means 5 megapixels @15 fps. But getting the frames and processing them are quite different stories. The maximal memory bandwidth you can achieve in software processing (carefully using neon, cache alignment and prefetch) is in the range of 500-700 mb/s, with non-optimized access it is going to drop down to 200-300 mb/s. I have no idea what is with DSP, but pretty much sure that it will not be faster. Besides, DSP does not come readily usable. If you are not specifically bound to using Beagleboard XM, I would suggest to use something else - e.g. there exist imx6 boards with serial and parallel camera ports.
