If you're worried about the overhead of multiple subscribers for high bandwidth/frequency topics like images and pointclouds, what you want is probably nodelets. From the wiki page:
Nodelets are designed to provide a way to run multiple algorithms on a single machine, in a single process, without incurring copy costs when passing messages intraprocess.
