"Fast Pathing" is a feature that it allows an organization to set a relatively long heartbeat interval to minimize traffic without losing up to date information about the security of clients.
Without this, important events like viral infections would only be uploaded during a heartbeat. Waiting for a heartbeat to forward events to the SEP Manager could slow down an organizations response time to an emerging threat.
Configuration:

Applies To
With "Fast Pathing" enabled, the client checks if there are new detections (*) or new network security events every minute. If one of these critical events is found, the SEP client uploads all threat-detection and network security related information for the events from the logs (AVMan.log and seclog.log) but not any other log information.
