I suspect that more air will lead to a somewhat slower time for the thing to settle down (equilibrate), but in the long run, it shouldn't matter much. The only way to get a really appreciable increase in reaction time for these would probably be to find a good gas permeable membrane so you could pretty much eliminate air from the system on the indicator side.
