All frames from Kinect at 30FPS

I am using Microsoft Kinect SDK and I would like to know whether it is possible to get Depth Frame, Color Frame as well as the skeleton data for all the frames at 30fps? Using Kinect Explorer I can see that the color and the depth frame are nearly at 30fps, but as soon as I choose the view the skeleton, it drops to around 15-20fps.

It might be better to ask this on Gamedev.SE :) – Miguel
Detecting the skeleton is CPU intensive. What's your computer configuration? – Ian Medeiros
This question is better asked here. The Kinect community is not nearly as active over at Gamedev. – Nicholas Pappas
@IanMedeiros: Core2Duo 2Ghz 64bit Windows 8 Pro 2GB RAM. That means that if I have to get color and depth frames, it can be guaranteed to be at 30fps, but for the skeleton it depends on the CPU and CPU usage? – thinkquester
You have a rock age computer. That's why you can't handle it at 30FPS. You need a new one. – Ian Medeiros

Yes, it is possible to capture color/depth at 30fps while capturing the skeleton.

See image below, just in case you think me dodgy. :) This is a raw Kinect Explorer running, straight from Visual Studio 2010. My work development platform is an i5 Dell laptop.
