I would have though that --partition should only apply to the
pgbench_accounts table, while FREEZE should apply where it is possible
to use it, aka all the COPY queries except when pgbench_accounts is a
partition. Would you do something different, like not applying FREEZE
to pgbench_tellers and pgbench_branches as these have much less tuples
than pgbench_accounts?
