Fixing opencv lag - Chief Delphi

We should have a 'Steps Taken For FIRST' contest. Everyone wear a pedometer and keep a log of how many miles you walked at the St. Louis Championship. That could be a lot of fun. Do they make pedometers for robot carts? - JaneYoung [more]

Were you reusing the same image buffer each time, or were you just using the returned image buffer from read()? If you are allocating a new image each time (the default behavior), that explains why you had so much lag receiving the image.
