Thanks for your answer Frank.

That was my main idea as well. But there is more to it than that. For instance (and certainly under specific circumstances I haven't tried to determined), a query with an inner join of a huge table and a tiny one won't be parallelized unless the degree of *both* tables is greater than 1.
