I have been using 32GB 30mbps sandisk ultra cards successfully for a long time in a T3i, and my T2i.  Using ML 2.3.

Recently, after discovering the FPS Override feature and using it a few times, I've noticed that both cards have less free memory than before. My T2i on auto-restart mode now has a 6-7 second gap between clips where as before it was only 2 seconds.  And worse, on my T3i, if I don't change the bitrate down to 0.9 (instead of 1.0) and disable on screen meters, it has buffer problems and stops recording every few seconds.

So 2 questions.  Why is this only happening on the cameras after using FPS Override, and what actually effects 'AllocateMemory' ?

On my T2i, 'AllocateMemory' is around 1970k,  and shows green,  on my T3i, it only shows 980k and the dot is red. Both still show around 334k on malloc.

I've tried every variation of formatting cards, re-installing ML etc... even taking the card from the T2i (where it still says it has 1970k free memory) and putting it in the T3i -  nothing works.  The fact that I've switched cards and the T3i still says the same amount of 'AllocateMemory'  leads me to believe that the camera's are permanently affected, and that a new card won't help.

Any ideas?
