There is a slight problem with too many objects. If happen to consolidate many 
peoplesoft installations into separate schema in the same database, then it can 
create problems while dropping schema in order to refresh is from some other 
peoplesoft installation/golden copy.
 
I have blogged about it at following link.

Exactly, and those 61000 objects are going to carry on not being used.  If
you had created the tables 'segment creation deferred' and they haven't been
physically created yet, then they aren't going to be created.  If you do
occasionally use a new table then it is only a one time overhead.

If you want to force just the tables to be created in PeopleSoft (though I
don't think I would), it is possible to add the 'SEGMENT CREATION IMMEDIATE'
clause the DDL model.
