Either or
I'm one of those who will finish a painting in the frame but by the time I do this I'm not usually working on the outside edges. I have no problem framing a painting very quickly.
However, it really does take oil paint at least six months to "dry" completely (maybe longer) and the danger of framing too soon may cause the frame to "mark" the painting's surface. I personally do not worry about this as any marking would not show as long as the painting sits in its frame.
