K-7 long exposures without DFS

I hope this isn't a bother, but I was curious about how bad the noise is on the K-7 with the Dark Frame Subtraction Noise Reduction turned off on exposures of ten seconds or more. Would someone be kind enough to upload either a full size sample or some 100% crops of a 10 second exposure without long exposure NR? Thank you.

Also, I remember reading that dark frame subtraction kicks in automatically on exposures longer than 30 seconds, is this correct?

DFS is forced on Bulb mode only.
On other modes it can be switched off.

I´m thinking how not to use it on DFS. There is one solution - for example You need 2 minutes exposure without DFS. So set manual mode M and multiple exposure of 4 frames, each 30 seconds.
