help i have a nikon d5100 rated at up to 4fps.i know that (up to)indicates that rate is not constant.what contributes to the shooting speed?

Adding a battery grip will often help get you one more fps as it offers a tad more power.

The higher count your pixel capture, the slower your camera can clear buffer to memory card. Slowest fps will be raw + JPG fine; fastest fps will be smallest JPG only.

Not all grips will increase FPS. Don't know about the D5100, but sort of doubt it.

(that last one is relatively negligible)

The write speed of the card is important too. If you're using a slow card you may have to wait a long time for the pix to process.

The moon one will depend more on if you are shooting the moon or not.
For really fast cameras, card write speed comes into play.
If I remember correctly, I believe the highest speed can only be attained with the lens cap on but shooting largest raw. That is of course, transferring minimal info. If so that speed will never be attained in normal shooting.

It's a medium speed card, but should do well enough for your intended purpose

The card will have to be freshly formatted to get the highest write speed.

A quality memory card properly formated is a contributing factor as well as size of image file you are shooting.

In camera processing (noise reduction, etc) will slow it. If you are able to manually focus and eliminate autofocus (not always possible) you will likely find a little bump.
