OpenCV camera calibration is lagging on RPi2 with IR camera

I have a system running Arch Linux ARM with opencv-2.4.10-3. The Raspberry Pi 2 is connected to a Raspberry Pi Noir Camera. When i run the calibration the camera is lagging with what looks like 15-20s delay.

Any suggestions why this is occurring?

OpenCV camera calibration is lagging on RPi2 with IR camera

I have a system running Arch Linux ARM with opencv-2.4.10-3. The Raspberry Pi 2 is connected to a Raspberry Pi Noir Camera. When i run the calibration the camera is lagging with what looks like 15-20s delay.

Any suggestions why this is occurring?

I noticed in top that it is using a nasty amount of resources:
