Mostly Sandisk, all of my (regular) cards are 80-95 MB/s.
there any possibility that you might have enabled any processing
feature(s) that could be slowing things up?
Thanks for the clue. I thought I had turned off all unnecessary
processing, but it turns out that only the first item in lens processing
was turned off.
Even with the much larger 645Z files I have _never_ encountered
anything like what you describe. If I had, I would have switched
systems by now. Five freaking minutes to empty the buffer?
Infuckingtolerable.
Try a factory reset and a known fast card.
I just tried turning off all lens correction, which I had to do on an
item by item basis.
Is there anything else that anyone has found that makes a difference?

In many many ways the K-1 is an amazing camera. If all I did was portraits,
landscapes and still lifes it would be damn near unbeatable, especially for
the price.
However, for action photography, it can really suck donkey balls. The
focusing is a huge improvement over the K-3ii, but the focus points don't
cover nearly enough of the screen, especially if you want to place critical
compositional elements at the "third points". Despite the improvements over
the K-3, focus speed is still way too slow, especially compared to when I've
shot a friend's Nikon 810.
My biggest gripe is the bus speed. Did they really think that people would
buy a full frame camera and always shoot JPEGs? I was photographing dance
competitions this weekend. Things happen fast, unpredictably, and often in
rapid succession, particularly when there is more than one couple dancing at
a time. After about a minute or two the buffer will fill up, and then take
something like five minutes to empty. Once it fills up, it takes something
like 30 seconds before it's ready to shoot again, and I have no idea of
whether there's room in the buffer or not. I just have to press the shutter
and wonder whether it's not locking focus, or just still emptying the
buffer.
Gah! Every time I try to shoot action, I'm tempted to switch to Nikon.
Unfortunately, there's about 15,000 reasons why I can't.
