I have two dual 2.4G Xeon processors (4 cpus). This is what I got as the = results of your suggested query. I'm not too surprised because I don't know what I'm = looking at yet!

Rather, I = would look at V$SESSTAT from another session for the identified SID - this provides some additional details, especially about PQ. Specifically, = look for Statistics (join V$STATNAME) 'where upper(name) like '%PARALLEL%'' - = you will be gently surprised s'all I can say :) You also did not mention the number of CPUs you have (although I note that you have set parallel_threads_per_cpu). Be aware that although you did not set LARGE_POOL, this will automatically be derived. And I have to disagree with Mladen here on the flushing bit - since this = is a DW, I wouldn't mind flushing the shared pool, as I can understand why = you did it. Of course, he did point out the syntax error!=20 PQ (in a controlled fashion) can be a boon in DWs, but I have seen it = really bite in an OLTP environment.
