Nope, at least not with my 1D Mk 2, just one press to focus and trip the
shutter as I would with "regular" single frame shooting, the mirror returns
when the shutter release is, uh, released half way, and that's what the
help-menu screen on the camera says when I enabled the P.Fn., so I don't
have any issue using this mode all the time, save confusing the Canon
technician  :-)

Quiet mode only works in single frame mode.

Beauty of digital!  I use the high speed 8.5 frames/second mode all the
time, then delete unwanted images as necessary right away in the field (BTW,
I've read comments that one should "never" delete files in the field since
it might cause file corruption on the CF card, well, I've shot 37,000 frames
in the past 1.5 years and always deleted unwanted files in the field, never
had a problem yet), I never use the low frame rate since I either need the
high frame rate, or don't need it at all.
