Even conventional cameras have to wait for the charging capacitors to charge up for the flash. If I turn the flash off of my digital (HP Photosmart 318) I can shoot, and shoot and shoot without worrying about any lag time. I have no use for taking 5 pictures in one second, so I can't gauge THAT type of lag. 1/100th, 1/1000, 1/12000 shutter...means nothing to me, nor will it ever unless I take photography up as my job. If that ever happens, then I will rethink my opinions. Of course I normally shoot at the lowest quality setting for easy transmittal over email to family., so that has an effect I am sure. When I bump up the quality..there is more lag as it writes it to the CF I am sure. I have left the film roll for the digital as my common household camera, and I will never go back.
