The same problem with a Logitech Quickcam 3000 for Business on an up-to-date Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric (3.0.0.16 #29 x86_64). The wiki page [1] states this cam should work out of the box since 8.04 so that's why I bought this cam. It worked great until an update to 11.10 (or the update to 11.04, not sure). Then it started creating a load on the system of 1 (single core) and floods the syslog ever since. It's making the system very unstable because of the high load. Unplugging the camera fixes the load problem.

The first bug report of this problem was more than 2,5 half years ago in bug #459445, which was downgraded to "won't fix". I hope this will be reconsidered.
