I had a similar problem 2-3 months ago. (Ecke might be recalling that thread.) In my case it was the lens distortion correction turned on. In general, - I find that any option requiring post-processing slows down the camera.
The first time I used my K-7, I thought I'd get the best photos if I corrected for every lens distortion, and any chromatic aberrations as well. What the hell, the features were built into the camera. Use it! Went down to the dog park to test out the fantastic new fps with my best lenses on a not quite sunny day.
Don't have to tell you the outcome. Yawn! Two shots - wait - a third - wait - no more until you re-push the shutter release button. Orange processing light runs on for what seems like a loooong time.
So your shooting philosophy would be: Shoot fast and capture every motion of the subject, don't worry about any stinkin' barrel or pincushion distortion; green edges on branches and hair, OR plan carefully, take single shots at the height of action every couple of seconds, and have your images look like they were taken with a Leitz lens.
None of the above solves the occasional way out of white balance image that happens. See: http://homepage.mac.com/jomac/Test%20&%20Anomalies/
For some reason unknown to me or to Apple (Upgrade everything, it might fix it) the images and the text on this page went over to the right instead of down. You will have to scroll right to see the Index Page. Then when you click on an image, you might have to scroll back left to see it. Still working on it however.
