Ben:

As I said in my previous post, you may get a lot of waits on this latch and that is not necessarily something to be overly concerned about. However, you can lower this number by increasing the PARALLEL_MAX_SERVERS parameter. This is the maximum number of servers that are allowed to exist concurrently. Set the value to:

(max # of concurrent PQO users) * (their max degree of parallelism) * 2

HTH!
