Answer
Normally it should be faster. Looks like your computer resources are limited but I am not sure if there is another problem.
To be able to check you would need to provide your project (RoboDK including G4A) to us.
Please send us your project by using https://game4automation.com/send
Hi, I checked your example on my computer. It moves smoothly on my side´(RoboDK and G4A),
I think your started to implement your own RoboDK Interface because you did not purchased professional version - right?
It could save you some time to use G4A Professional. Please get in contact with me if you need an offer.
