        If you disabled parallellism, you couldn't get PX wait events.
You might want to try with DOP of 1.  I'd also verify CIO is being used
if you aren't sure.

 
 
Reminds me of the old Henny Youngman joke:  "I went to the doctor.  I
said 'Doc, it hurts when I do this.'  He said 'Don't do that.'"

We really want to be able to use parallel.

        Yes, we tried decreasing the DOP.   Didnt really affect the wait
event.  I am pretty sure the drives are already mounted w/ CIO.  At
least they are supposed to be.

                Have you tried decreasing the degree of parallelism (or
maybe even disabling it) to see if that helps?  Sometimes too much
parallelism is a bad thing.
                 
                You might also want to consider using concurrent IO if
you're not already.
