Default Canon XSi "Busy" problem

Lately I've been taking many photos in a row with the built in flash. It seems that after about 15 pictures in a row the camera slows down and shows the "Busy" message. It seems that I need to give it a minute to catch up with itself. Without the flash I can snap pictures non stop (50+)without delay. Is there something recharging in the camera? Thanks.

yep... they all do that...nothing wrong with the camera or flash... een with an external flash, when shoosting continuous you'll miss a flash, but the camera keeps shooting
