I noticed that the partially parallelized Merge Join EXPLAIN ANALYZE
that you attach has a big misestimation:

->  Merge Join  (cost=3405052.45..3676948.66 rows=320 width=32)
(actual time=21165.849..37814.551 rows=1357812 loops=4)

Is this the best test case to show off the patch? This node is the
immediate outer child of a Nested Loop Semi Join, and so I'm concerned
that we measuring the wrong thing.
