I had to dig for this, so I wanted to make it easier to find.. This is from a Gentoo forum, but it worked on my debian install
You can improve the speed of the camera using the qcset util. You may enable the double-buffering using the command
qcset compat=dblbuf
The qcset util is full of interesting settings. With qcset keepsettings=1, the settings will be stored into the webcam and you will be able to control brightness, contrast, etc. You can check that your settings have been correctly saved with the following command : qcset -i
