[ros-users] ROS, Kinect and gumstix

[Radu Bogdan Rusu]

Cedric,

Awesome! Where do you think the CPU load is coming from? Can you profile it? Let's see if there's ways of improving 
that, as clearly we wont have too many CPU cycles left for processing if the driver alone is eating up that much :)

Are you using the ros-pkg-git kinect driver?

Cheers,
Radu.
