Why software trigger runs much slower than vendor provided API code in the same mode

I am using Pointgrey Dragonfly express camera on a 1394b bus to capture camera. I acquire the image and process it, Because I want the acqusition rate matches the
processing rate, I did not use external hardware trigger, instead I use a software trigger.

Using the Pointgrey API, I can do the software trigger at about 180Hz for full image size (640*480) in mode 14 and 120Hz at mode 0, however, in labview environment, I put it in the same mode by writing the same set of registers, the maximum rate I can reach is only about 80HZ. Am I doint anything wong ?

The attached is the Pointgrey API code and the Labview code I had.

Thanks

Cindy
