I do have more disks. I maximize the I/O performance by dedicating
different sets of disks to different tables. YMMV. I do suggest watching
your I/O rates and wallclock time if you try this to see if your
aggregate is actually substantially faster than the single case. (I
assume that you haven't yet gotten far enough to actually do performance
testing.) You may also want to look into tuning your sequential I/O
performance.
