Two on one CEC, three on the other (z9BC). Six lpars in the MAS. The lpar on the CEC with three GPs issues the command. Purging starts at 0030 hrs.

Per system... not total. We stagger the purging of "all" input / output over 14 days old with a command that just purges held ("programmer") output over 4 days old. The held output purge has the most work to do by far and finished in about 5 seconds last night in our MAS (I'm sure it takes longer on Mondays). Some of the smaller systems in the sysplex not in the MAS took longer. They have engines, less weight, but also smaller spools and less output to purge.
