I don't think parallelization will help you here.

Your problem is probably the "abc.*" in the SELECT list.

There must be really large data in this table, so it takes a long time to fetch and
sort the rows.  Try selecting only the columns you need.

Alternatively, add a LIMIT clause.  Do you really need all 800000 rows?
