Revision history [back]

To achieve good performance, costmap_2d needs to be a Release build, not a Debug build:

catkin_make -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

I can not predict whether this alone will be enough to reduce your loop time from 12.3 sec to 0.200 sec. You might also consider decreasing the costmap update_frequency if it is safe to do so for your robot's environment.
