Default ECU Replaced...now what?

OK, i finally got my ECU in the mail yesturday and I put in the New one today. I read on another forum that It takes a little bit for the car to reconize the new ECU. How long does it take? I took a 5 minute drive around the block, and it runs better than the old ECU, but still doesn't run like it should. Will it take a few drives around the block, a day of driving, ??

thanks!
