Compressing 660fps in real time is a much different task than 30 frames per second, notably because your latency budget is a lot lower. At 30fps you have 33ms to load the frame, compress it and send it off to the destination, at 660fps you have 1.5ms for the same task, which does not necessarily get exponentially faster with lowered resolution.

You have exactly as much time as at 30fps at 22x higher resolution. You dont need to constantly reuse the same 52KB buffer. Data comes at a steady snail 35MB/s pace. Pee 3 should even be able to save it on USB2 HDD in real time with no compression.

Really?
USB2 is 300Mbps for PI3 ethernet over USB2, is it faster with hdd? I ask because snail 35MB/s is 280Mbps.

last time I tried USB 2.0 hdd on pee3 did 35MB/s on the dot

You do not need any special heavy compression. Just deltas between consecutive frames should result in 1:100 or more compression rate at such high frame rate. This is assuming you can keep both pivot and current frames in processor's SRAM.
