Blue Cheese is correct. You want to retrieve every buffer, not the Next buffer. That is why your frame rate drops.
You also want to use a larger number of buffers. I would probably use 30 to 60 buffers for each camera. This way, if you get just a litte behind, you can catch up without losing frames.

How do you translate this buffer number into a physical quantity, e.g. bytes or megabytes? My camera has 16 MB buffer space. I chose buffer number 20 and it didn't acquired any image for quite some time.
p.s: I am also trying to synchronize two firewire single line cameras. The external trigger comes in form of a TTL pulse from a 1KHz laser.
