For units with broadband connections, it has no effect on MLS transmissions -- the Sophos updating is done at system startup, independent of any MLS transmission.
For units on dialup: For now, as mentioned a few posts ago, Sophos doesn't update anyway, so it shouldn't have any effect there, either.
There was that discussion we had long ago about whether Symantec slowed down MLS transmissions. I personally never saw evidence of that being the case, but if that was indeed the source of a slowdown, then that factor should now be removed and transmissions should be faster.
