I have a huge problem with my webcam. It's performance is really poor.
Cheese captures something like 1-2FPS. The log shows:
A lot of buffers are being dropped.: gstbasesink.c(2834): gst_base_sink_is_too_late (): /GstCameraBin:camerabin/GstViewfinderBin:vf-bin/ClutterGstVideoSink:cluttergstvideosink0:
There may be a timestamping problem, or this computer is too slow.
Linphone and qTox freeze when trying to use the webcam altogether.
Do you have any ideas? I have the uvcvideo module loaded, Asus R556LB

You could try loading uvcvideo while changing the value of some parameters and see if that helps.

Which parameters do you mean?
The webcam used to work correctly some half a year ago.

Hmmm.. using
options uvcvideo nodrop=1
in modprobe.d helped.
Why is nodrop disabled by default

Because it shouldn't be needed in the first place, but it's there in case it is needed.
