I think the CPU monitor never is below full green. So, yes the cpu is now the
limiting factor at 400 MHz, but that is not bad; 100 MHz per webcam, ????

Would we expect T to be the same as R?

You missed the point of the question. Is active webcams (4) the most single use
item that would use all of the bandwidth?

I have just found a webcam with a good, big, analogue clock face with a second
hand. Most of the time, you can see it hit on each of the 5 seconds in line,
but some times it skips 2 or so in a 5 second block. I wonder if this is an
optical problem or are we seeing 30 frames / second or 1 frame / second ince
sometimes it misses 2 seconds?
What do you think?
