I think these tests weren't full coverage of possible use cases. It will
depend on a number of relations in the query. For the JOIN of
partitioned tables, for example, the overhead could grow. But in the
context of overall planning time this overhead will be small till the
large number of relations.
Also, we made this feature optional to solve possible problems.
