you know the one in your main info screen at the bottom right corner that's supposed to help your exposures? if you have that dialed up to 3 or full, it slows the 7D down a lot.
Ive debated on getting the 32gig card, just seems like a lot of memory, i never use much over about 9gigs at a time, and i almost always have my laptop with me to unload pictures onto. I guess i should grab one sometime just to have some spare memory. (of course i mean retire one of the old cards and use the 32gig as a main card.)

With RAW plus jpeg I fill the buffer and have to wait for it to catch up. Shooting jpeg only, the 7D's buffer never fills. With RAW only it'll fill, but after giving me a lot of shots. RAW plus jpeg is around 30MB per image.
On most outtings I'll shoot 2 to 6GB, but occasionally there'll be lots of action (like eagles fighting or courting) and I'll fill the card, shooting in lots of bursts. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen on every outting, but I need to be ready the next time it does. I've had days where I've shot 2,000 in an hour.
Before every outting I reformat my cards. I only use them for storage if I don't have access to my laptop.
