Optimize control loop?

Hi there!

I'm constantly getting warnings like

Control loop missed its desired rate of 5.0000Hz... the loop actually took 0.2028 seconds

using move_base to drive my robot around. Obviously something is taking pretty long within the control loop. What do you think, how could I optimize it to reduce the time a control loop cycle takes?

This is what my current rosgraph looks like:

My personal assumption is that there are too many nodes between /MoveBase and /udpOutgoingInterface.

Thanks for your help!

Cheers, Hendrik

Did you compile the code, or are you using the debs?

I'm using the debs. Do you think, compiling the stack explicitly with compiler optimizations for my arch would make that much of a difference?

The debs should be correct, I think.
