Please look at the spark UI and confirm you are indeed getting more than 1 partition in your dataframe. Text files are usually not splittable so you may just be doing all the work in a single partition.
If that is the case, It may be worthwhile considering calling the repartition method to distribute your data across multiple partitions so you get more parallelism.
