That would of course depend on how busy those volumes are.  

With EMC SRDF we use "adaptive copy" for the page packs.  What that means
is the volumes were copied once to the remote side and then they are never
touched again.  We have to do the same thing (one time) when new page 
volumes are added.  Our last DR drill proved that sometimes the DASD team 
forgets to do that.  :-)
