Publishing rate of gazebo sensor plugins broken on ROS fuerte?
it appears to me that there is a performance regression in the plugin update (publishing) rate in ROS fuerte compared to gazebo in ROS electric. I already posted a detailed description on answers.ros.org: http://answers.ros.org/question/43960/publishing-rate-of-gazebo-sensor-plugins-broken-on-fuerte/ but failed to get an answer so far.
Basically, on electric data is output to ROS topics as expected, while the data is published with high jitter and much lower than desired rate in fuerte. I'm not sure this has been the case from the start, if this a recent performance regression, or if I'm doing something wrong. Whatever it is, the current state is unusable for sensor simulation. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
System is Ubuntu 11.10 AMD64, electric and fuerte from .debs (up to date), Nvidia proprietary drivers
