while running my saryn i tried out venom recently un improved and then maxed, i didn't specifically time the ticks but on my screen the time in between the ticks didn't seem to lessen from min to max lvl, what did change was the # of spores. and i'm still pretty sure that the number of ticks per second does not increase but i'll be the first to admit that i haven't done very in depth tests.

if you look at the position of the damage ticks they are generated from each individual spore, so against an ospray where only a single spore is generated, venom will do less damage than against any other enemy you target. (i know this for a fact cuz i have run saryn against raptor and there are a hell of a lot less damge ticks against him when i run 4 venoms consecutively on him than there are on any other boss i do the same for.)

i'm not sure if this is a bug or not but when fighting the boss of pluto (i forget his name) when i used venom on him i was only generating 4 damage per node as oposed the 10 damage that should have shown up.
