Looks like the pocketbeagle has two 'programmable real-time units' PRUs @200MHz which could be used to run the sensors while the main CPU handles video+I/O. Could be a good option for 'multithreading' without having to insert another module. (caution: I've kept to the rpi for weird little side projects, so haven't actually tried this. Double super big caution: Never add hardware before profiling your current system to figure out where the bottleneck is... it might just be a matter of changing your 'main loop' a bit.)
