What is the cost of scaling up number of CPUs for parallel processing?

That was always the culprit for me compared to AWS/Athena and BigQuery. They are dirt cheap on analytics workloads when you can parallelize the calculations to 100 CPUs without really paying any extra.

With postgres you are stuck with linear cost for scaling up number of CPUs, so everything is slow anyway.
