Perhaps, but it might be harsh to say it was the wrong decision when it was made as partitioned tables are far more optimised than when JIT was first worked on. It seems to me, most of the people that have issues with slow JIT times are having these issues with partitioned tables and JIT is slow due to having to compile large numbers of expressions. However, maybe this is the place for me to find out that's not always the case. The JIT costing is likely to get an overhaul soon, and if all goes to plan there JIT will be considered per plan node rather than per plan.
