Not sure about how long it takes to fil the holding tank from empty (it will depend on the compressor and oxycon combination feeding the tank), but in practice, you shouldn't have to fill the holding tank from empty except on your first run. After that, there will be pressure in the tank from the last session.

For the system you are talking about, once you stop torching for the day, you shut the whole system down, and the pressure in the holding tank remains until the start of your next session (unless there is a leak).
