     It is also important to consider the overhead of partitioning during
     query planning and execution.  The query planner is generally able to
-    handle partition hierarchies up a few hundred partitions.  Planning times
-    become longer and memory consumption becomes higher as more partitions are
-    added.  This is particularly true for the <command>UPDATE</command> and
-    <command>DELETE</command> commands. Another reason to be concerned about
-    having a large number of partitions is that the server's memory
-    consumption may grow significantly over a period of time, especially if
-    many sessions touch large numbers of partitions.  That's because each
-    partition requires its metadata to be loaded into the local memory of
-    each session that touches it.
