Set your webcam's resolution down to something lower than 1080p.

Also, since you're saving to disk and not streaming, you can use High profile instead of Main and you can set your KeyInterval to auto instead of 2 seconds.

Finally, if you want to do more than just watch the file you save, like use it in video editing software, you need to turn constant frame rate (CFR) back on.
