As a test to rule out the matrix/multi-segment metering algorithm (and possible processing time--which should be very short!) what happens in spot or center weighted exposure mode?
Tried same test with spot metering and center weighted, same results.

Do you have AF on? You won't get the max brust rate when the system has to re-acquire in between shots.
Yes, I am shooting with AF-S. Even if I turn it into manual focus, the results are the same. Slower burst rate on darker objects.

Do you have AF set to focus priority or release priority?
Try both and see if you notice any difference.
I believe if in focus priority the camera try to confirm that each shot is in focus before capturing the shot, which might take longer time on a dark low contrast subject. Not sure if it works the same in both AF-S and AF-C.
I default have it to focus priority. I set it to release priority as well, no difference. And yes, the shot is in focus before I start the burst.
Even 1/8000s on a dark subject burst is slower than 1/250s on a bright subject. Also tried 2 lenses, same result. Have also tried 3 different memory cards, and made sure battery was fully charged. This issue might not be an issue but just was designed that way, but if it was, I never noticed it before. Anyone else able to test if their camera does the same?
