OK, first things first - Have you got a recent enough version of CC
Mode? The rest of your post suggests you have, but just to make
sure.... Do M-x c-version. You need 5.31 or higher. This version of
CC Mode only became part of GNU Emacs at version emacs-22.1. If
necessary, you can download the current version (5.31.4) from
<http://cc-mode.sourceforge.net/release.php>.

OK. The thinking behind this feature is that the indentation of a line
can often be calculated only _after_ the line's been typed, not before.
So things like "}" and ";" trigger reindentation. I'd recommend you to
get to like this if you can. :-) However, let's accept that you can't
or won't.
Does C-c C-l (`c-toggle-electric-state') work?

(setq-default c-electric-flag nil) should work. There may be a bug in
CC Mode here.
One other thing to try would be disabling the electricity in a hook.
Try this in your .emacs:
(defun zlt-disable-electricity ()
(c-toggle-electric-state -1))
(add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'zlt-disable-electricity)
