The NXT is faster, I think the lag has as much more to do with the bluetooth. I found that it was better to incorporate FEWER interface commands, where the code looks for the joystick commands, which definately has a slowing affect.

There are more factors, but the bluetooth speed is the biggest problem I think.

I have had very few problems with the bluetooth interface in RobotC, but I haven't been using the FTC Control station, but the included software in RobotC. It will be interesting to see what the robots will do at scrimages with the competition setup. (the only scrimage I went to, people used personal laptops and all used RobotC)
