i can get the FPS BETWEEN (25 - 30)???

got only 2 such buffers but after seing the code i tried changing the number
of MMAP buffer which is given in SPCA5xx.h

>    This change is terribly fast but the system seems to crash but the
frame rate is amazingly higher, is this change advisable???? Please suggest
me a way to solve this problem where i have been breaking my head all these
days.
