Hi Jeffrey,
thank you for the suggestion. Yes, they potentially can, we'll consider
this.

I don't see why multiple CPUs can't work on the same node of a plan.
For instance, consider a node involving a scan with an expensive
condition, like UTF-8 string length. If you have four CPUs you can
bring to bear, each CPU could take every fourth page, computing the
expensive condition for each tuple in that page. The results of the
scan can be retired asynchronously to the next node above.
