It seems that the capture routines of OpenCV don't perform so well on the Beagleboard. Our tests were really disappointing, with 2-3 fps on our low vision project.
We had to develop a custom optimized capture mechanism, which retrieves the raw YUYV frames, extracts the Y components, and works from there.
This allow us to grab at full camera speed at 640x480 for a Logitech Pro9000 camera, and we are optimizing to get the full resolution, 1600x1200. Apparently SDL can be used to grab frames with improved speed, this is something we didn't consider.
