It's been a while since I played it, but if I remember correctly, you only play the third movement. I think there were around 53 notes, and mostly eighth note "hits."

Wait a minute! You actually trust your timpani player? Mine got me in a measure early last year. Fool me once................

If the timpani and tuba come in a measure early - by definition it's the rest of the orchestra that's dragging.
