Naive question about multithreading/multicore

Hello,

on a machine where starting two processes:
perl -e 'while (1) { ; }'
I see two processed at 100% CPU, which is expected (with top).

Now, if I do:

template1=> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM pg_class a, pg_class b, pg_class c;

I see only one 100% CPU PostgreSQL process.

I read that while PostgreSQL connetions lead to a UNIX process model,
which is better for isolation, some operations have been parallelized
and can use more than one core/thread.

Maybe this specific case was not (yet?) parallelized, or should it
be and thus something is issing in my configuration?

Thank you.
