Way back in time, I tested data throughput (acquisition->processing->storage) on PCs and found that compressing the data in the processing stage ultimately increased data throughput to storage. The reduced load on the bus (which must be managed by the CPU) more than compensated for the increased CPU load to compress the data. Less expensive digital cameras like to omit RAW file output because creating a RAW file significantly increases CPU load and reduces throughput (in terms of frames per time unit).

Hi. Thanks for the excellent test analysis.
If the camera's computer is being overloaded, I wonder if switching to PEF format in FF mode would help since PEF features more data compression and should reduce CPU and bus load? In the same vein switching to JPG should reduce loading even more in FF mode. Also turning off all forms of background processing while using JPG output might help as well.
