Thanks for doing the split this way. The patch passes check-world.

I ran a SELECT test using hash partitions, and got

        Master    v5
64:    6k        59k
1024:  283       59k

The non-partitioned case gives 77k. The difference in TPS between the 
partition case vs. the non-partitioned case comes down to 
set_plain_rel_size() vs. set_append_rel_size() under 
set_base_rel_sizes(); flamegraphs for this sent off-list.

Best regards,
  Jesper
