Revision history [back]

If the source code is the same as PCL, you are probably compiling your code in debug mode.

You could try to recompile using

catkin_make -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

This will tell catkin to compile the code optimized for release (without debug symbols) and will likely execute faster.
