Well, it is if your machine is too slow; the ToUCam driver has an internal

You either lower the number of frames (see the documentation of the 
driver), or make your program always read the newest frame, not the oldest 
one (I don't know how your program acquires images; if you're using read() 
you're toast and should switch to mmap()).
