In commercial CNC setups, is the drill motor powered during the entire drilling operation (except tool changes) or is it cycled on/off at each hole location?

I heard from some PCB manufacturer that a tool change (stopping drill, changing tool, spinning up again) takes about as long as drilling 100 holes. This answered my question about extra cost for tool changes ;-)
