Tony:
It's more a matter of allowing the wood and nails to get used to being in
a new position as well as concern for drywall cracking.   This is
particularly a problem if the walls have been out of position for long
while.  
It's not that you can't do it quickly, I just think you might have fewer
drywall cracks and fewer connection issues if the work is done a little at
a time.
