I can't find the post, but I remember one team figuring out something counterintuitive about the camera last year. If you configure the image size to a small number of pixels in order to try to get frames faster and reduce camera lag, you're likely to overload the cRIO's image processing ability and actually end up making the lag worse. Maybe that could have something to do with what you encountered.
