It should reflect the sequential access of 1000 pages, which normally is faster from buffer cache on modern hardware. I tend to agree with you that the default costs for parallel queries are far too optimistic --- we've seen enough complaints about parallelism making things slower to make that clear. However, proposing some new numbers without gathering some hard evidence to support them is not helpful. regards, tom lane
