So there are maybe two things that slow you down, either the processing to 6MP or the writingspeed of your card and the filesize.
I did a test with 14.5MP 2 star quality and got 275 frames in a minute, but there is a full buffer at some point and when the buffer is full the K-7 can ahndle about 4.4-4.5 fps.
With the one star quality the buffer never fills up. The file size is on average 1.69 mb so the total amount of data to write is well under 9mb/s wich is no problem with a fast card.
