Each user's utilization of their respective file system will reflect accordingly. Analyze and see ho much red or fragmented files you have and see what time is best for you. There is not right time limit. Your processor and speed of your hard drive will also help with your IDE. The number of applications running can infleunce your performance.
I recommend scheduling things like full virus scans outside of your development time. I have seen people clog up their dev time because they schedule a a bunch of maintenance scans weekly, but their system is not online during the scheduled time. Well, some applications with scheduled processes try to regain lost time. Create a start up and shut down script for your development environment. You set your services to start up manually and then create a simple little ..bat file to start up services or turn on jrun instances. I have a couple of scripts to turn off jrun instances, database agents and system scanners that may pop on. Obviosuly, this is the perspective of a Windows User. I am not all that Mac savvy so I will leave that for the Mac Masters. Your main issue for latency should be around the compilation of the SWF. Adding new MXML or setting the application start MXML file really should not take much time because it is a workspace setting and file system commit. The render time of a SWF depends on what you have to initialize first. I have seen some pretty function rich Flex apps that load in no time flat. Do you have the latest flash player? Is your browser's security setting messing with your content? ...etc There are a lot of options to system performance that make it hard to help over a mailing list. My dev laptop has enough power to handle all applications turned on, but I rather conserve my battery when unplugged.
