My first attempt at offloading the Vision Processing was onto the Classmate. I didn't work out well. I had issues with CPU being over taxed, losing/delayed packets between the field, robot and driver station. I got a bigger/faster laptop and all those problems magically disappeared.

As I stated, it just doesn't have enough horsepower to be the driver station, AND perform image processing. So unless you have a really scaled down image process function (ie.. not directly copy and pasting in the sample code provided) you won't be happy with the end results.
