Delay Between Tasks in a Job

We're noticing that Task Server jobs in NS 7.0 have a significant delay between tasks.  For example, we have a job that runs a script task, then a power control task to restart the system, and finally another script task.  The first script task starts and finishes quickly, but the power control task takes nearly 5 minutes before it starts.  Once that completes there's another delay before the final script task.

It's like the tickle applies only to the start of the job, and there's no tickle for each task in that job.  That would explain the nearly 5 minute wait, as our Task Update Interval is set at 5 minutes.  The first task completes and then you're stuck waiting for the update interval.

Does anyone know if this is by design or maybe just an oversight?
