RE: Indexed PF vs. LF performance

I have an ancient article by Skip M. that the performance issues with
index rebuild (during a CPYF and such stuff) shouldn't be that much of an
issue with newer (back then) versions of the OS. However, people in the
'real world' begged to differ.

My question is this: Just because the CPYF runs faster isn't the file
still unusable by your applications until you rebuild all the LF's anyway?
Don't you have to include those rebuilds as part of your outage window?
Or are you saying that it's faster to break them apart than to do it all
as part of CPYF?
