I believe there is a way to use network tables and actually do all your processing on the driver station itself. Just send the data from the robot to a client program on your DS, analyze it there, and send it back.
Feel free to message me about questions or if you want to see code!
Not really true. I'm not sure about the Java bindings for OpenCV, but the Python bindings only have an overhead of something like 15%. All of the work is still being done in the same native code.
