K-7 slow to process RAW images after installing firmware 1.1
One though is that the list of supported lenses has increased for distortion correction etc. I had no problems with the upgrade, however when I tured on the lens correction functions, I had the same behaviour.
I'm sure I didn't have lens correction turned on unless it occurred during the u/g.

It seems a likely possibility to me, I suggest turning it on, both chromatic and distortion, taking a picture and then turning it off, take another picture and see if there is any difference in the write time.

I turned on lens correction as you suggested to find it took 4s. for the card activity light to come on & continuous shooting stopped at 4 frames.
Thanks for solving the mystery!

The manual says the default setting for lens correction is OFF. It seems firmware 1.1 can change that to ON in some upgrades. Very odd.
