I am using the IR and depth feeds.

I had the same results with the MS SDK. By disabling the video feed cpu usage dropped by 5%, which on a i7 quad core is a significant drop.
Thanks for the insight on linux vs windows with open kinect. Unfortunately for me right now I don't have a linux box at my disposal.
It seems using the reflective tape is definitely better for finding the center of the target, and I think I'm probably going to use the same strategy. I use the rgb and depth to find distance, because I believe the carpenters tape is more reliable for the depth measurements. I'm curious have you tried you vision tracking with other shiny aluminum objects in the field of view? That's what killed me last year was forgetting about the reflections on the legit field. Also are you using a clear poly or smoked poly backboard. I'm trying to find someone who has taking a shot of the 1/2" smoked poly backboard with the kinect. I have a feeling it will look closer to wood than clear poly.
