Based on the information in this thread, I bet it's the built-in flash recharging. If you find yourself shooting flash pictures frequently, I would suggest you invest in an external flash like the 430 EX or better yet the 580 EX II. The recycle times with these external flash units are noticeably faster and offer much more power and versitality than your built-in flash.

After 2 days of debating between the 430EX and 580EX II, I ordered the 580EX II and the Sto-Fen Omni-Bounce last night from Adorama[]
It was a tough call though, I mainly based my final decision on Bryan's reviews but I did read more negative reviews on the 580 than the 430 elsewhere such as overheating problems and loose fitting so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well ...once I learn how to operate it! Wish me luck!
