This would allow a single query to make use of multiple CPU's or - multiple I/O channels simultaneously. One idea is to create a - background reader that can pre-fetch sequential and index scan - pages needed by other backends. This could be expanded to allow - concurrent reads from multiple devices in a partitioned table.
It is unclear if this should be done inside the backend code or done
