The key issue was in InferencePipeline._process_data() where a 5-second
while loop was blocking waiting for inference results. This completely
serialized processing and prevented multiple dongles from working in parallel.
Changes:
- Replace blocking while loop with single non-blocking call
- Use timeout=0.001 for get_latest_inference_result (async pattern)
- Use block=False for put_input to prevent queue blocking
- Increase worker queue timeout from 0.1s to 1.0s
- Handle async processing status properly
This matches the pattern from the standalone code that achieved
4.xx FPS (1 dongle) vs 9.xx FPS (2 dongles) scaling.
