Latency lies (a little): what a detector really costs per frame
Every object detection library publishes a latency number, and almost none of them is the time your frame takes. We measured YOLO26, RF-DETR, D-FINE and mayaku end to end on one RTX 3060, from a 1080p frame to final boxes: some ~2 ms networks take 13 ms per frame, most of it spent on CPU pre-processing.
