I wanted to give people a ballpark range that they should be looking at. Most tables at 1000 partitions won't cause big slow downs, but the cost scales with the number of partitions. By the time you are at 10,000 the cost is noticeable. I have one customer who has a table with 1.2 million partitions. That causes a lot of slow downs. > And the improvements**** > > that you mention are they going to be in version 12?
