I don't think so Andy, because theres at least 4 or 5 full processes looking at and possibly adding to that image between the camera and the display window. I have tried a much slower base thread and the lag was still the same. Looking at the camera itself with something like cheese, it is much faster, but thats right out of the camera, raw. No cropping, DRO additions & no crosshairs or target circles added, I suspect a faster USB might help some, and a cpu running at 15ghz would help, but thats an 1.4ghz atom & thats all on one core. Firefox doesn't lag, and neither does konversation, the IRC client. Typically both are running. Camunits runs at a low enough priority, but all that buffer copying between the various video treatment modules does take time.
