For awhile I was putting out 2 books in about 15-18 months, which was an easy pace for me. (Let's not get into comparing me to other authors or their quality, please.) It seems the most I got out of it was greater name-recognition while I had new works available... the quality of the work did not decline as I produced more books per year (if anything, it may have increased).
Presently, I haven't written anything new in over a year (as I've been re-proofing older books), and as a result, my name recognition has dropped, and so have my sales.
There's something to be said for concentrating on other aspects of your profession, such as marketing or exploring other markets. But clearly your audience (assuming you have one of those) cares nothing for that. Therefore, if they want you to write, and they'll pay for your books, you might as well write and make them happy.
But don't rush it. I could probably turn out three books a year, but they'd be crappy. That is not the way.
