Used to be that during the first part of a restore the system would read the header of the library/object from tape, then (as far as I know) allocate enough disk space to hold the object(s). Once that was done, it would read the data from tape (at (apparently) full speed), and write it into the allocated space.

Since you're deleting the old library, the system needs to allocate space all over again, so it will take some time.

Since you don't know which objects they deleted over the week, maybe you could try a user exit (or parameter validation) program on the DLTOBJ command (well, the individual delete commands)-- log the object/library to a file. When you receive the tapes, delete those objects using the log file, then restore the tapes over the existing libraries.

My perception of how things work could be off, but those are the chances I take.
