It seems that the visualization tools such as rviz take a lot of computational resources. Actually I just want to watch through the Kinect camera (see what TurtleBot sees) but I don't need other fancy 3d simulation stuff. Is there any simple, high performance package that can do this? Thank you very much.

If you only want to see the camera image, use image_view, e.g.:

rosrun image_view image_view image:=/camera/rgb/image

If you need a simple 3D viewer of the pointcloud produced by the kinect, I'd go with the PCL. They provide a lightweight viewer as well as a full-featured one:

simple CloudViewer: http://www.pointclouds.org/documentation/tutorials/cloud_viewer.php
PCL Visualizer: http://pointclouds.org/documentation/tutorials/pcl_visualizer.php

Just register a callback that accesses the XYZRGB-Pointcloud of the kinect and, inside the callback, provide the pointcloud to the viewer.
