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.
