We run them as needed plus annually on Jan 1 after the EOY backup.  Of
the two production LPARs, one hadn't been reclaimed ever and the other
had run one recently (November) because of some issue I can't recall
details on.  

Our bigger LPAR with 2TB of disk took 4 hours; the smaller LPAR (1TB
DASD) took 2 hours, 50 minutes.  The LPARs are on the same box and were
run concurrently.  Our DASD is made up of 70GB 15K disks in RAID5.
