It's been a while. since I did a firmware update obvious for the NX20.

I can't recall if it is a put the zip file or put both files on the card.
You may want to try the one you didn't.
also just to make sure.. you did downloaded it from a Samsung site not a third party yes?

I figured it out, I had to put the unzipped folder with both files inside the root directory, write speeds improved, nowit looks like I can take a rw shot aprox every .5 second but after 3 shots it stops for about 2 seconds

That is normal for the camera. I usually put the Quick view on to 1 second. That way I can see the shot without moving, and usually I don't need to take that many shots in a row that fast. 
In my normal usage, with either portraits or Landscapes it isn't needed. When I need a Burst I usually put it on a burst mode. You need to plan a little. It is the downside of it. Honestly though it is a good little camera. Served me well for many years.
