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.
