With the changed server configuration, that leads to generate more parallel workers and every parallel worker operation is treated as an extra commit, because of this reason, the total number of commits increased, but the overall query performance is decreased.

Yeah, that seems okay, however, one can say that for the scan they
want to consider it as a single scan even if part of the scan is
accomplished by workers or may be a separate counter for parallel
workers scan.

I don't think so. It seems to me that we should consider it as a
single transaction. Do you want to do the leg work for this and try
to come up with a patch? On a quick look, I think we might want to
change AtEOXact_PgStat so that the commits for parallel workers are
not considered. I think the caller has that information.
