Open Activity Monitor in Utilities and check for any processes using excessive CPU time, ie. ReportCrash

There's a known issue with the last Mavericks update causing a conflict with the iSight camera when certain applications are installed: One of those being AirDisplay. The net effect is that the ReportCrash process throws a wobbler and starts eating processor time like it's going out of fashion. It's worth checking out if this is your issue.
