Are you aware that you can save pcd files directly from rgbdslam? Maybe the clouds are sent to fast for your machine and some are dropped. You can throttle the rate at which the clouds are sent by rgbdslam with a parameter. In your launch file set

<param name="config/send_clouds_rate"              value="2"/>

This will send the clouds out at 2 Hz.
