Kodak has published times for each method (XTOL). Same with C-41. Small tank, deep tank, rotary etc. Be careful following older instructions for Jobo published by 3rd parties. The E6 1st developer time, from an old Jobo publication calls for 7'30" instead of 6'30" for "Fuji films" . I found the standard 6'30" published by Kodak, Tetenal and Fuji to work well.
Kodak doesn't recommend reuse of chemistry used in rotary processing. Makes sense from an oxidation standpoint.
The film emulsion is saturated with solution, and swollen, especially in very warm color solutions. I don't think the brief exposure to the warm, moist air in the drum would have much effect.
