4 second delay between jobs on Zebra

Just out of curiosity...
is 1.4.7 the first release that will not use SNMP supplies at all?  I noticed that just going from 1.3.7 to 1.4.6, my 3 second delay was fine, but I also noticed that a handful of nodes going to the same printer were faster, but went from a 4 second delay to a 2 second delay.  I put a network sniffer on it and found that my test node, still sent 4 SNMP packets (raw driver) and I didn't get any from the other node.  I suspect it is blocking SNMP in the NAT / Firewall so I married it up to my dummy PPD and viola, prints fast.  Just trying to get a feel for will this be my limp along solution until 1.4.7 or will this be a perminant fixture to my implimentation.

Thanks as always.
