 // TablesWithSize80 is a query to select table along with size for mysql 8.0
 //
-// We join with a subquery that materializes the data from `information_schema.innodb_sys_tablespaces`
-// early for performance reasons. This effectively causes only a single read of `information_schema.innodb_tablespaces`
-// per query.
 // Note the following:
-//   - We use UNION ALL to deal differently with partitioned tables vs. non-partitioned tables.
-//     Originally, the query handled both, but that introduced "WHERE ... OR" conditions that led to poor query
-//     optimization. By separating to UNION ALL we remove all "OR" conditions.
+//   - We use a single query to fetch both partitioned and non-partitioned tables. This is because
+//     accessing `information_schema.innodb_tablespaces` is expensive on servers with many tables,
+//     and every query that loads the table needs to perform full table scans on it. Doing a single
+//     table scan is more efficient than doing more than one.
 //   - We utilize `INFORMATION_SCHEMA`.`TABLES`.`CREATE_OPTIONS` column to do early pruning before the JOIN.
 //   - `TABLES`.`TABLE_NAME` has `utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci` collation.  `INNODB_TABLESPACES`.`NAME` has `utf8mb3_general_ci`.
 //     We normalize the collation to get better query performance (we force the casting at the time of our choosing)
-//   - `create_options` is NULL for views, and therefore we need an additional UNION ALL to include views
