No, as long as there were no issues with the promotion of this machine to a DC and you aren't seeing any issues with replication, you can do it any time. No need to wait.

Last evening I introduced an additional windows server 2008 domain controller into my domain with a view to decommissioning and replacing the current schema master. Are there any best practices around how long I should let the new DC ‘bed in’ before I change it to the schema master?
