As Tom said, to get the benefits of parallelism on one query, you would need
a parallelizing database like Teradata, Oracle Parallel Query option,
Netezza, or Bizgres MPP.
The announcement about Postgres linear scalability for SMP is only relevant
to statement throughput for highly concurrent environments (web sites, OLTP,
etc).
