Grip and performance on the driver station laptop

We have successfully been using GRIP on the driver station. We want to do more with it.

Does anyone have information or experience with PC performance, GRIP, and processing power? We seem to get some lag. It isn't too bad for what we are doing, but we're a bit nervous about it in competition. It might be network latency, but it doesn't seem to be as bad if we are just viewing a camera feed in the smart dashboard.

Anyway, we were wondering if beefing up the PC might be likely to improve things. Does GRIP take advantage of multiple cores? An available graphics card that could be used (at least in theory) to handle OpenCV calls? A higher speed processor? Just curious if anyone has some advice on system requirements or recommendations if using GRIP on the driver station PC.
