It varies for me. I have fits of massive productivity followed by (and preceded by) large periods where I am waiting on someone else to do something so I can get back to doing my work. I'm about a year ahead of schedule on my project too, so that leads to long periods while I wait for others to catch up. Because I have an excellent grasp on the business needs my programs are supposed to meet, I can usually get them done very quickly.

After this project is over (I've been on it for six years and it will last at least another three or four years), I'll move on to something else. There will be a steep learning curve and I won't be able to get work done as quickly as I can now.
