Revision history [back]

The issue was that I plugged the Kinect into a laptop eSATA/USB 2-in-1 port, which dropped the frame rates, for some reason that I'm not willing to investigate further.

On the normal USB port on the same laptop, I get ~30hz for the images and ~22hz for the RGB PCL points.

Sorry for the trouble, I should have checked this before posting.
