I've confirmed that this is still an issue in Precise. What happens is that cheese starts recording. Everything is good for about 5 seconds. Then an icon appears under the main webcam viewing thing and (I assume) cheese starts transcoding/flushing to disk. At this point everything gets really choppy, both in the eventual recording, and in the display.
