Creating Logicals before or after populating a file ?

We are about to embark on an exercise that will populate a *large*
database file (40 million records plus). This file has about 20 logical
files built over it.

My question is, which is more efficient:

1. Populating the file and building the logicals ?

2. Building the logicals and populating the file ?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Evan Harris
