I'm sorry John, I didnt see your original request for testing.

I tried running the following with interactive on and off:

from pylab import *
import numpy

figure()
x=numpy.arange(20)
y=1+x**2
n = 4
for i in range(n*n):
   subplot(n,n,i+1)
   bar(x,y,log=True)
   xlim(-5,25)
   ylim(1,1e4)

I didnt notice any significant diffference in speed in the two modes with
the qt4agg backend, and the figures looked fine. Is there anything else I
should be looking for?
