Control Loop error

This is sort of the continuation of my previous post. I was able to get a more reliable obstacle detection by lowering the resolution. However, I am still confused on why I get a control loop error. While I seem to find some post regarding this problem, all of them due to a slight time delay. While in my case, the delay is always more than 20 seconds and up to 60 seconds.

What happened during that time is every time I specified a goal on RVIZ, instead immediately aiming for the desired path, it will perform a 360-degree rotation first to the desired heading. Then it just hover in place. After the rotation, these errors always come up.

It will not stop until I force the package to stop. I don't know what cause this behavior and I cannot found anyone else with a similar problem.

From that WARN I would speculate that there just isn't sufficient CPU processing capability available to run the control loop at a sufficient rate. 5 Hz would be 0.2 seconds. On your platform one iteration takes 60 seconds. That is 300x too slow.

I would first look into that.

Forgot to add that before the warning, there is always this info first.

[ WARN]: mmWave customized rotate recovery behavior started. [ WARN]: Clearing costmaps... [ WARN]: Performing rotation... [ WARN]: Completed rotation... [ INFO]: Got new plan

Don't think it should perform rotate recovery
