This sounds like either there isn't enough network bandwidth, or your computer is too slow to display point clouds.

Running the system monitor application (GUI) or top (command line) should show the system CPU usage, which will give you some hints about where the problem is.

Rendering point clouds is pretty graphics-intensive. You may be able to squeeze a little more performance out of your system by switching the rendering style.

I suspect the tf issues you're seeing are due to buffering and lag issues caused by how long it takes for your computer to render a single point cloud.
