Actually CompactFlash is capable of far higher speeds than SD.  Not that it 
matters a whole lot, the I/O speeds on Pentax DSLRs is far from stellar 
(especially the *istD).

Although no cards are actually capable of this kind of speed at the moment, 
the current CF spec is capable of 133MB/sec (thats "886X"), where SD spec 
(including SDHC) is only capable of 20MB/sec (133X) as far as I know.

Still, assuming SD can evolve and increase that as card flash speeds 
increase, its not that important.
