On my P3 700 Mhz, Active Webcam uses up to 30% of my resources, so that isn't bad at all. Try disabling the Preview windows (View menu), and adjust some of the other settings, I bet you can get it much lower. I just checked the Pysoft site again for the pricing, it looks like Pro/Deluxe does still exist:

In my case, I need Active Webcam, so I can automatically adjust the motion detection sensitivity based on the time of the day (I need this because when it snows, it would trigger the camera at night continiously, and this is my only work around without losing daytime sensitivity).
Great writeup tho, thanks for posting!
