Web cam and CPU speed
I disabled a web cam in a Latitude 6400 and got a
7% benchmark speedup (CPU and RAM benchmark) (In XP, go to system/hardware/drivers find the webcam and select do not use this device, which you can do without changing the driver or anything) -- On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk.

Which proves that Intel promax has a lock bug and that the webcam works by interrupts (which provoke such a bug). -- On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk.

Assuming you don't need it, I see nothing wrong with your way because it gives you the option to reuse the webcam without having to reinstall it... nice. Alternatively, could you just lower the priority on the process(es) which might do the same? Even if I'm right, this method is only useful if you want the webcam immediately.
