I'll have to check...i have the 7d, and I haven't noticed the frame rate fall off. I'll report back on that...
Beyond that, don't tell me it is physics, if it is...get a better battery should be what we say.
Even still, even if it does drop off, it's pretty damn remarkable that canon can take a camera with more mp than the d700 and get more fps out of it than the d700.
Lastly you have absolutely no idea if the 18 mp of the 1dx are of a lower quality than the more mp of the 1ds3.
If the 1dx has higher iq per pixel, then it will more than likely interpolate better, and look better, and if you can't get by in the studio with 18mp out of a top end camera, 21 ain't helping you..

It's not super bad, and mainly noticeable when using IS and AF on the superteles creating a lot of strain on the battery. Battery tech is pretty stagnant compared to silicon. The issue isn't data throughput -- the A77 gets 12FPS @24 megapixels and silicon doubles every 18 months (not 100% accurate, but close enough), the issue is mechanics.
I have clients demanding more and more MP for giant prints, I regularly have to rent MF backs. The point is that the 1Dx is not a 1Ds replacement, as the 1DsIII arguably needed more MP and the 1Dx has less.

why it doesn't have your pet "must-have" feature, blah blah blah. It just goes to show that no matter what a camera company does, there is no satisfying everybody. What is so ridiculous is that some of you actually believe what you're saying, as if your opinion really matters and that yes, Canon must be clueless because they didn't make your exact perfect camera.
You're basically making hasty generalizations. What body of photographers does this body cater to besides high-end wedding/PJ, an area where it arguably is much larger than ideal, as evidenced by the popularity of Leica in that area? Even when we look at the stress they put on new video features it's a failure. Moire is still going to be an issue skipping from 18MP to 2, the built-in mic is still useless, and bitrate is still ~54, there's still no continuous AF, no articulating screen/XLR inputs, and there's still no RAW video. Despite the big advancement of timecoded video (super nice), the 1Dx has missed the mark at becoming a competitive video machine, despite the clear attempt to put it in a professional environment via timecodes.
Yes I have pet features, the reality is that they are features required to keep up with the competition. That's not the issue here. This body is a failure from market research's side. They've failed to make an upgrade for either the 1D or 1Ds series, and the body is basically misdirected in filling the market it was designed for.
It has lower pixel density than the 1DIV, combined with no AF capabilities at F/8, making it a much worse choice for BiF/Sports than the current 1DIV despite the AF and FPS improvements.
Lower megapixel count than current 1Ds, requiring significant improvement in per-pixel sharpness and performance to match current 1Ds in image usability, and still missing the 2008 mark set by the D3x and Sony A900, let alone that set by any future Sony sensors.
Obviously this was designed to be a match to the D700 as a high end wedding/PJ body (an area it is much too large for), but by doing so they've missed the mark on their high-end studio full-frame, high-end sports, and video-centric body. I eagerly await the 40MP+ 1DsX, ~28MP 1D sports replacement, video-optimized 5DIII, and compact mirrorless FF announcements.

When my previous company shutdown I got to to take all the Lan cables I wanted for my home LAN. Since everything still works together I have never bothered with wireless.
