Default Canon XSi Continuous Shooting Issue?

I noticed recently that when shooting in continuous mode, my Canon XSi capture 2 images at the regular speed before slowing down between shots. I've only had the camera since November.

I started shooting in RAW for a while, but switched back to jpeg to shoot some action shots of my cats chasing each other around, and after I switched back, it still wouldn't shoot at the proper speeds. I did before I tested out shooting in RAW.

Also, I always leave my camera in continuous shooting mode, even if I'm only taking one pictures cause you never know when you'll need it.

I don't know if any of these other things would affect this, but I did change the review time to 4 sec from 2 and also set the camera to show overexposed areas in the image review after I take the picture.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can bring the continuous shooting back up to normal speed?

Thanks Doug! I didn't even remember changing that until you mentioned it. Switched it off, and it works fine now.

Thanks again!
