I've recently been playing with the webcam feature and I've noticed that
the frame rate is not even close to what it is using the official MSN.
This is mentioned in bug #131861 [1]

My first check was to see if there's been any changes to libmimic, and
there hasn't, so that's ok.

Gof on IRC helped me figure my way around the code, and it turns out the
frame rate is hard coded to 1 every 1000ms (1 second).  I changed this
to 200 ms and it worked fine for me.

Should this be made a configute option?
Should it be made automatic and dynamic? (this is my vote, but I'm not
sure how it would be done)
Should the default just be lowered?

Personally, I think that the 1000 default is FAR too high - it does make
sense on a dial-up connection, but most users are on broadband
connections these days I imagine.
