Revision history [back]

I've been able to remove the unexpected delay by adding a buff_size option to my subscriber:

sub = rospy.Subscriber('chatter', Image, imageCb, queue_size=1, buff_size=2**24)

I'm not totally sure what the implications are of adding a buff_size option nor am I sure why solves the issue. Better solutions/explanations are always welcome!
