I cannot report off the actual system I am running it as it
has no mail connectivityon so please ignore the powermac bits.

It is a 533MHz fanless Via C3 with debian default 2.6.26-2-486 kernel and a
Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Pro 4000. The system is seriously
underpowered so I would like to reduce the framerate setting.

I have tried tweaking framerate and minimum_frame_time

I have "framerate 2" and "minimum_frame_time 2" in the config time

The camera still streams at max framerate (around 30fps), the
sysload is around 50% and motion records up to 7-8 frames per second
when motion is detected.

I have managed to set a lower framerate using the kernel module params
for pwc which is the driver for this camera.

Once again motion fails to change the framerate set via the kernel param
and the params in the config file are ignored.
