If you dont use omap driver then the video has a noticable green tint.
Dont know how to use hardware acceleration, there was a hardware accelerated jpeg encoder for gstreamer in the past, but I cant find it anymore. I dont think it would improve framerates any higher, I think around 30 is the hardware limitation of the camera, I could be wrong.
Hardware acceleration would be for less cpu usage I would think.
