It would be interesting to see the profiles of having the generic plan
being built on the 6th execution vs the 400,000th execution.

I'd thought maybe one difference would be the relcache hash table
having been expanded greatly after the generic plan was created, but I
see even the generic plan is selecting a random partition, so the
cache would have ended up with that many items eventually anyway, and
since we're talking in the odds of 7.8k TPS with 4k partitions, it
would have only have taken about 2-3 seconds out of the 60 second run
to hit most or all of those partitions anyway. So I doubt it could be
that.
