Roughly how many interrupts per second does the default CMU cam code generate? What priority level are they? We're using low-priority interrupts for other sensing components, and I'm trying to estimate whether we will be generating them at a reasonable rate. I've heard rates as high as 10,000 ISRs are possible without issue, as long as the main loop and individual ISRs execute rapidly. Is this accurate?

Is this accurate?I believe it's just over 100 per second (the number of bytes sent per second).
