I just now discovered that
libfprint<http://www.reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Main_Page>is doing a
good job as I can see from the
fprint_demo<http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=208521&filename=fprint_demo-0.4.tar.bz2>application.
For me, it was JNA that was slowing things down exponentially.
Have to find another way to use that in Java or may be something else.

Your comments are still appreciated and other FOSS SDKs/libraries that you
know of ??
