As part of topic creation, the controller broker has to elect leader for each of the topics and this involves a few writes to zookeeper. So it might take several seconds to complete leader election for 300 topics and that time would increase if you have many partitions per topic.
Which delete partition script are you referring to? We don't have a delete topic feature in Kafka yet. So you can only create more partitions, but not delete them.
