Subscribing to the "RGB" and "D" images is far less expensive than subscribing to the XYZRGB-cloud. Depending on what you do with the data, you can save computation time by using the images, just the XYZ-cloud or by selectively computing the cloud (i.e., don't subscribe to the cloud and subsample it, but create a cloud only from every n-th pixel.

P.S: I once hacked the old drivers to send every n-th frame, somehow that should still be possible with the current one
