xvidcap achieves framerates <10 here for me (for 1440x900-fullscreen capturing with only mouse-cursor movement), furthermore it seems capable only to capture windowed applications, capturing fullscreen applications resulted in a black screen for me.
i tried xvidcap 1.1.7~rc1-0.0 (debian unstable/sid), used the gui and with default settings (recording in mpg4-format, though set the wished framerate to 30fps). also, i find the handling of that app pretty unhandy. i would prefer having it sent into the sys-tray and started/stopped by hotkeys.
perhaps i missed some way to make it work the way i wish? lol

EDIT:
No way xvidcap will work. Tried to capture from windowed PS, which only resulted in a long still image.
