Pentax buffering

Got a question for Pentax users. I have a K3-2 Pentax that I love for landscapes, people and stationary birds but I have noticed that when I shoot several frames quickly the camera takes a long time loading the previews to view although it doesn't interrupt shooting. Is there a setting to improve this or is it a buffering limitation?

From what I've read there is no improving it. It's a buffer limitation.

Thanks - I did some more reading after your response and found that the buffer will hold about 25 Raw images during continuous shooting but it has to be set to hi-continuous with a fast memory card to achieve that. It wasn't clear though if you could review images during this time so I will just have to put it to the test. I have never run out of buffer space with my Nikon-
