That's good to know we haven't really tested it against that many
schema's, other then actually creating them to make sure there wasn't
some sort of hard limit or bug no one had run into before.
Performance with schema's is actually one thing I do like. A query
for any one user is only hitting the data in the one schema, so users
with large data sets don't impact the query performance of users with
smaller data sets.
