The code you linked to is fairly inefficient in a couple of different ways (in particular, it doesn't reuse image buffers), so I'm sure out of the box the mjpg-streamer would beat the pants out of it, particularly if you ran it on a RoboRIO.

After optimization, I suspect the mjpg-streamer version would still end up winning.
