Actually, there is no LogicalRepPartMapContext in the patches posted

memory consumed by the partitions apart from that consumed by the
actual replication targets.

Thanks for giving it a look.

Okay, I like that too.

I am checking test coverage at the moment and should have the patches
ready by sometime later today.
