Thanks for this comment, it got me on the right track.
My problem was that my camera is on /dev/video1.
I went into the source (uvc_stream.c) changed it to video1 and it worked.

In the source on line 178 you have this
if (init_videoIn(videoIn, "/dev/video1", 640, 480, 5,
V4L2_PIX_FMT_MJPEG, 1) < 0) {
hardcoded. Again I am not sure if this can be overridden
Also I am using Konqueror as the browser

I have about the same system using suse 10.1 and it does not appear to
be using much cpu itself, but konqueror is using about 60%. I only have
an old Matrox card.

Don't know but if you get an answer can you post to this list.
