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..

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...)
