Webcam supported by the pwc driver are only USB1. So if you plug it into a
USB2.0 port you need to have an usb1 driver (uhci-hcd or ohci-hcd depending
of your hardware), and you will not have the speed of the USB2.0. All devices
on this port will run at usb1 speed.

Ah OK ... is this a limitation of the webcam itself or is there something the driver uses which doesn't like EHCI?

At any rate I think we've managed to bypass this problem, we've just purchased a QuickCam Pro 5000 and managed to get our software (Player/Stage based) working with the Linux UVC driver from http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ ...

Cheers!
