Here's my solution posted on bug #981803;
This is how I fixed my poor FPS in cheese, on Ubuntu 12.04;
1) sudo apt-get install guvcview;
2) Under image controls look for the drop-down menu item "Exposure,
Auto" and select "Manual Mode";
"TAB" select the next option!!!
3) You should "TAB" select to the slider bar beneath "Exposure, Auto"
labeled "Exposure (Absolute) - use your right arrow key to bump up the
selection. Mine was set to "156" so I knocked it up to "157" then down
to "155", and back again to "156". Now my exposure it fine, and I get a
solid 30fps at 1280x720.
I'm not sure how or why this works, but it seems the exposure it set way
too high or something.
Anyway, just quit out of guvcview and launch cheese. Everything should
be working now. Or at least it did for me.
