I don't know a ton about the vision system, but I noticed last year with the analyzer tool that the part of the video processing that took the longest was a VI that converted the jpeg provided by the camera into a character matrix to be used by the image processing VIs. When that was going on we only got a few FPS reliably as well. If you didn't need to image process (only wanted to look at it) I suppose that conversion would never need to happen. I'm not sure if the video it sends to the dashboard is the raw jpeg or the matrix, but either way it might be waiting for that conversion to finish.

Anyone have a better idea of exactly what it does?
