But I've only just started playing around with the BBB and the Pi and I'm already getting the impression that the BBB is noticeably slower than the Pi at capturing and processing webcam streams. I just didn't want to do anything that would slow it down even more by creating an unnecessary bottleneck in writing images to the uSD.
Nah.. Depends on the USB camera and kernel version... The USB bus on the BBB is very picky.. > > It didn't occur to me that running off the sd card would be much slower than the eMMC. So maybe a better strategy, when I want to use a different image, would be to save the eMMC to a backup image and flash a new one to the eMMC. Yes/no.. The emmc has an 8bit interface advantage over the 4bit microsd interface. But for the price point, the onboard 4gb emmc, is on the cheap side NOT the fastest. So you can definitely pay and get a faster microsd card.. (Sandisk SDXC 64gb pro's...)
