here's what i think might be a possible cause: gphoto2 and gtkam make use of libgphoto2 within the same thread and digikam uses a separate thread. for the former, when the communication with the camera is going on, every once in a while the process will use status updates (progress bar/other messages) from libgphoto2 to update the progress bar for eg. this pauses the communication with the camera for short intervals of time. in digikam, since the operation happens in a separate thread, there is no pause in communication. Maybe the protocol/camera is not able to handle that and needs occasional timeouts before continuing.

(all of this is just wild speculation).
