off the top of my head, I would think that if you can change the code enough to do a "set unused" that it would make sense. That way, you can time the actual drop of the column for non-critical hours.

In general, I'd question why the drop column was coded the way it was, since it could (as it appears to be doing) have a significant impact on performance
