Harry, this is what I suspected - it is internal CF feature, not related to the camera or PC. Kind of a built in "garbage collection" for the flash memory pages (NAND flash has rather complicated rules for erasing and writing data). This dead time may vary for different CF cards depending on the controller chip. Depending on the frame rate and image quality, this may be still tolerable in the camera if the circular image buffer (currently 19MB) can accommodate > 1.7 sec of your data.

On my Linux machine, the worst case was 1.7 seconds even when I ran the program with a highest priority while the typical time was 12 msec. No sure what this means because the worst case is still 100 times slower than the normal speed as with the Elphel board.
