They can do one or the other, I don't have control in which modules they use most. However one of the modules is related with merging and I think they use that one often.
Probably you could test doing automation in an loop doing it a few hundred times and check the timings and effects. IMHO spread to a daytime recreating it wouldn't have much impact (but you never know before you do test harness).

>>Recreating a word instance takes a second. 100 times a day it makes 100 seconds and I wouldn't keep a single instance to save less than 2 minutes a day.
>>PS: No I haven't doen it with 100+ docs a day (customers might have done - didn't check their daily load).
