[ros-users] Loading a model in Rviz, Robot Model vs. State Validity

My guess is that the update rate is the problem.  It's trying to do 1204 TF
transforms every cycle through a 33hz loop.  Try this:

 1) load rviz without the urdf on the parameter server
 2) create a Robot Model display
 3) set the "Update Interval" to 1 -- this means it's only going to update
the model once a second
 4) load the urdf onto the parameter server
 5) disable/re-enable the robot model display
