Three years after the initial release of the Canon 7D, a firmware update allowed the number of RAW files shot at 8fps to increase from about 15 to 25 frames. There is also some evidence that camera makers may limit the maximum number of frames allowed in the buffer to match the performance of the processor and write speed of the available memory cards. This could be processor speed (which can be dealt with somewhat by disabling certain in-camera processing options), the maximum transfer speed the camera is capable of in moving data to the card, or the maximum speed the card itself is capable of writing. The absolute limit of how many photos you can take over an extended period is governed by the slowest link in the chain. This may or may not have a significant impact on what it is you wish to capture at high frame rates. So after the initial extra 5-10 shots twice a deeper buffer would allow, you would then still be limited to the exact same frame rate you currently experience until the buffer clears. Consider this: If your camera had twice as much buffer memory it would be able to take roughly twice as many photos before running out of memory, but it would also then take roughly twice as long for the buffer to clear.
