Name of camera task

Hi. Got the camera to the dashboard to work this weekend. Woohoo!

It has around a 2.5 second lag, is this normal, good or bad. I set it to 160 x 120 and tried setting max frames per second to 15. Setting FPS didn't seem to change the lag.

I noticed that if you kill the robot code, the camera still appears on the dashboard because there is a separte camera task for it. What is this task called? It seems that when a new program is run (in memory for fast debugging) and the camera task is already running, then it won't reinitialize the camera, plus it sometimes dies with a kernal exemption. Is there a way to stop the camera task from code?

Thanks,
Brian
