You're right about the initialization time. On startup, `rostopic` registers a new publisher with the ROS master. Then, `rosserial_arduino` is notified of this and negotiates a direct communication channel with `rostopic`. All of this takes some time. So what you should do is create a publisher once and keep it open. This should greatly reduce your latency on all following `publish()` calls.
