[cups.general] Problem queueing a file with big number of printers

Hello,
 i am new to this list but i shouldnt i am administering a big server
of printers (two aix servers) with 4000 printers each server. And i
have realized that the number of printers slows the time of enqueue a
file to the server with lp. from 1 s to 2 s. (the time of printing is
important in the company ......)

The version of cups is esp 4.4.12, cups-conf says it is 1.1.29 ( i
know it is very old, but i dont know any compilation for aix)
Anybody knows why is it so slow? (apart from the number of printers)
and how to improve it? Will a new version of cups improve it?

Thx
