Hi,

I have a some computation that takes a while connected to topic. I wan't that next message for computation is as fresh as possible. I have tried setting the queue to zero which results in error and setting it to one doest much help.

sub = rospy.Subscriber("~input",i nput_cb, queue_size = 1)

Test output:

[INFO] [WallTime: 1365585376.358492] msg is 0.2299852 s old!

I'm not sure what's wrong with that code, but you can achieve what you want to do by using rospy.wait_for_message instead of a Subscriber.

Your delay may be coming from the publisher queue as well. You should make sure that it is small/size 1 too.

What if your publisher is a python node? There is no queue size parameter for publishers in rospy.
