Sriram,
I do this on monthly tables which have about 30 million rows.
Last time I truncated a partition it took anout 2 milliseconds.

I have a situation where data is constantly inserted and frequently
queried into a master table(and routed appropriately to the partition
based on a non-overlapping check constraint ). I also need to drop the
child partition (say for yesterday's data..the partitioning is done on a
daily basis).
