Your timing is going to be dependant on:

  1) distribution (domain etc) of your membership base
  2) DNS issues (encluding remote presence and local cacheing)
  3) the performance of your target MXes
  4) whether or not you can use a smart host for any of the traffic

Notice that only #1 and #4 are under your control.
