It all depends on how many worms we are talking about, how big the systems are, what the temperature is etc etc. If the number of worms (I'm assuming it will be the same for both systems) is close to optimal in the smaller system, you will almost certainly see faster processing since the worms won't be as spread out as they would be in the larger system.
