Depending, of course, on whether you have cyclic workload peaks and
where during the month they fall. For example, if all your hottest
4-hour averages are consistently during the last week of the month,
then typically the effect of changes will only be seen when you
encounter that cyclic peak and it won't really matter when you make the
change during off-peak weeks.
