Where does the benefit of using it come from?  When would one want to 
use it?  Is it because the parallelization happens on the client or on 
the server?  Does it happen because to CPU parallelization or because of 
disk access parallelization?  Is it useful to use it on multi-CPU 
systems or on multi-disk systems?  The current description implies a bit 
of each, I think.  And it is not clear what a good number to choose is.
