The camera framerate is often limited by the amount of available light. If you reproduce the test, be sure to aim the camera at the ceiling, or at the lights. You should see the framerate go up. Then aim it at dark stuff, or mostly cover the lens and it should go down. Oddly, when you put your finger over the lens to make the camera go completely dark, it usually falls somewhere in between, presumably it gives up on a decent exposure.

If you set the exposure priority to framerate, the lower light images will get a higher framerate, but will be grainier.

I've wrote and retested the BMP stuff just the other day. The framerate was miserable.
