Well, you can try reducing caching on both client and server. Most
access and access-out plugins have a caching parametter.


For instance, if you use v4l as input on the server and udp as transport
method, you can use

--v4l-caching 50, --udp-sou-caching 10 on the server

--udp-caching 50 on the client

values are given in ms.
