I have this camera, and if you change the "start_video.sh" script to 
something like this....
you can see... the results... the CPU usage is much lower...

            echo "Starting H264 Encoder..."
            $FFMPEG -f v4l2 -input_format yuyv422 -r 10 -s 1280x720 -i 
$SRC_VIDEO -pix_fmt yuv420p -an -r 25 -f rawvideo - | \
               $ROOT_DIR/videoenc -i - -k 2 -r 25 -b 1024 -s 1280x720 -o 
/tmp/out1.h264
