Two words for you: BATCH PROCESSING...

Yes, you need the Adobe RAW plugin. When you batch, assuming all your shots are similar (exposure-wise), you only need to edit the first one, then batch process the rest. The computer does the work. Same with converting to jpeg for proofing or providing final images for clients...

A very good RAW primer is Real World Camera Raw, by the late great Bruce Fraser. Like anything, there's learning curve, but once you get it down, it makes your life a whole lot easier...

To me, the only possible upside to shooting jpeg in-camera would be that it takes up less storage space. Now, shooting as many frames as you do, only you can determine if you have it in your budget to buy all the cards you would need to cover hundreds of RAW files at a time.
