When the lights are on, both streams work great at 720p. It's only when the
lights turn off, and the room goes entirely dark, that either camera has
issues so I don't think it is a performance problem. The CPU usage is
pretty low at 50% or less and the memory usages is fine too at ~300MB used
out of the 1GB available.
