DOP inefficiencies are a constant challenge; Current DOP methods are inefficient
The degree of parallelism (DOP) with which a query is executed can greatly impact its performance. Any time a query is using parallelism, there is always the question of if it’s using the right amount of parallelism. Sometimes, if the degree of parallelism is too high, it can introduce inefficiencies into the query execution. If the degree of parallelism is too low, we may be missing out on some of the speed-up that parallelism can provide. Users can manually set a
