How do you define slow? How many frames/sec are you getting? The A7R has a maximum burst rate of 4 frames/sec. Are you getting that? If not, did you make sure to set burst speed to high?

I'm not familiar with the a7r1 but in any camera burst speed will be limited by shutter speed, among other factors. e.g. at 1/4 sec you could not shoot a burst faster than 4 per second. at 1/10th your limit would be 10 per second.
