I don't know. Right now I have NO machines with working webcams, when I did there was about 1 sec latency but I figured that was the camera itself, rather like some security cameras.
I do not do any kind of live work because of bandwidth issues, and always select cameras to shoot to camera cards for guaranteed compatability. Most of my experience with recordng from Kdenlive has been with screenshotting to defeat attempts at DRM on some commercial news videos.
