Is it normal for the burst rate to slow down when you stop down the aperture?

I can't come up with a logical reason as to why, since all cameras focus at the lens' max apertures anyways

Not necessarily. Do you have Exposure Simulation enabled? At many exposure combinations the lens will indeed remain stopped down for (servo) autofocus! Just observe it. It’s possible that the AF is what’s slowing things down. Turn Exp. Simulation off and see what happens.

Let us know,
