You may have noticed that with the Waiver Rule Disabled, you can still place someone on the 40-man roster "on waivers" if you right-click his name. If you happen to have had the waivers window open when you turned the waivers rule off, you will still see it in your Transactions Overview and the player will appear in it as having CLEARED Waivers already. If not, then you don't get a chance to open it while the rule is disabled. Nevertheless, the waiver roster is still there working in the background. Try it - turn the rule on, open the window, turn the rule off, and put somebody on waivers.
The difference is, that with the waiver rule off, the player clears waivers
immediately. Then you can designate him for assignment (DFA). The 10-day default rule for DFA is the outside limit; you can demote a player who is not out of minor league options immediately from the DFA if you choose. This is what the AI is doing in the background and why it appears instantaneous to you. I would turn the waiver rule back on if I were you.
