DP2M slow buffer writes, shutter lag question

Almost convinced in buying the Dp2M for professional portrait use...(own a dp2 and dp1s, but only use my nokia n8 lately! and soon will have fun with the nokia 808 pure view!). The SD1 lacks life view..otherwise yes.
I am a Sigma foveon fan for sure!

One thing I like to know how much time it takes before one can take the next picture?

I read something about about writing times, does this refer to image reviewing possible in camera? Or the writing of one image to the sd card (between 10 to 18 seconds!?).

Can one while the writing goes on take the next shot? or does one need to wait these 10 to 18 seconds?

Would the most fast sd card on the market help? which is the fastest to have here?
It would be a big help to get this cleared.
Thanks in advance
