In an informal test - i.e., without a stopwatch but by using a sweep second hand - Bill Lawlor and I tested his K10D with an 80X card and a 150X card. There didn't seem to be much difference in terms of shooting speed and the time to fill/empty the buffer for the first 9 or 10 shots. Afterwards the difference was negligible. I'd feel OK about using an 80X card on the 10D if that's what you have and you don't need to get the absolute maximum from the camera. Using a slow card the camera was a real slug.
