Sports Mode Burst Rate

I get about 3fps burst rate in sports mode (as advertised for the 1000D). When I switch to any other PASM mode I get about 1fps.

Even when i set everything up to mimic sports mode (high iso, fast shutter etc.) it still is much slower.

I am using single spot focus when not in sports mode. Sports mode I think uses multiple focus points but that would not make it 3 times faster I don't think.

Any ideas why this is. A google throws up some similar questions on other sites but no answers that I can find.
