| The more partitions you create, the shorter the processing time is for each
individual partition. But the more time to manage the larger number of
objects. It is not uncommon for large systems to partition at the weekly or
monthly level.
Once you have lots of partitions, you might want to look at something like
this utility to process them in parallel.

BTW: with SQL Server 2005, processing of objects in parallel is done by
default and the utility won't be needed.
Hope that helps.
