We now analyzed the problem with the Support of our NAC Software. It has nothing to do with V2 or V3.
The problem is, that with pfsense+ 23.05.1 all SNMP requests get delayed by the factor 3-4.
With pfsense+ 22.05, it takes between 2-3 seconds to get the status of all Interfaces from a Switch:

With pfsense+ 23.05.1, its takes between 9-11 seconds to get the status of all Interfaces from a Switch:

They say, that there is probably some kind of "internal QOS" delaying SNMP requests in the new firmware, or SNMP has a very low priority in some system services.
Is that the fact? Or why does the SNMP responses get such a high delay?
The base configuration of our NAC Software is 32 OIDs per request, with 30 values per response packet in the answer, with a timeout of 2 Seconds per answer. This worked without problems under 22.05.
We could make a workaround for our NAC Software. We had to set it to 1 OID, with 8 values per packet and a timeout of 10 seconds. SNMP is working with this config again, but as I said above, with a delay factor of 3-4 compared to pfsense 22.05.
