There seems to be a massive speed difference between linepick and camerapick. most of the extra time with linepick, doesn't seem to be doing anything... If you increase the distance of the linepick and the camera pick, the time difference is hardly worth bothering about. Just seems to be a set up time which hinders the linepick. Any word from BRL/anyone in the know, why this is? It kind of makes linepick redundant.
