Well I don't shoot anything that needs anything like that speed - in
fact to me, a motor drive is really a winder. But for someone who shoots
sports sequences - it's indispensable.

Canon EOS-1v    3-10 fps (depending on battery pack and lenses)

Nikon F5        8.0 fps

Leica R8/9      4.5 fps Motor-Drive
                2.0 fps Motor-Winder

Leica M         2.5 max with Leicavit/Rapidwinder and 2 cups of coffee


Also consider the shutter speeds you would have to shoot at to use
8-10fps...
