Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct (8.8B parameters), served in Q4_K_M format with llama.cpp on Jetson Orin NX 16GB, starts answering a single camera that sends one 720p image after 6.92 s, then writes 11.4 tok/s.

With 5 images per camera at 720p, the answer starts after 34.43 s. With one 1080p image, after 21.78 s.

At the default target of an answer starting within 3 s (720p, one image per camera), not even one camera is answered in time.
