I'm wondering if anyone has insight into this... when releasing an update of an iPhone application, should I expect the approval process to take longer if I submit something that's declared as a major version update (as compared to a minor version)?

Last time around (about the time the big Facebook-update was released) our wait time for a minor version review was 21 days (16 working days).
