Surprisingly, I've found that my 10-year-old laptop (Intel Core Solo T1350) has the similar issue with pwc (kernel 3.16). It drops 80% of 640x480 frames. Vortex86 200Mhz based rugged PC with 2.6.14 works fine. Quad-code Atom E3800 based PC with 4.1 also works fine. So, I even don't know what to say. Probably, the issue depends on CPU latency/performance and it was there for a while.
