That's a huge amount of latency. Do you see that sort of latency if you use the webcam in guvcview?
For a cheap webcam with low latency I've had great luck with the Sony ps3eye. It works out of the box on Linux (ubuntu at least) but if you compile your own driver for it you can get even better performance: http://bear24rw.blogspot.com/2009/11/ps3-eye-driver-patch.html

The latency with this webcam is amazingly long, as in a second or more.
