I'm very excited about this! Add a mechanism to distribute data and queries across a cluster, and this could be the makings of an open-source Amazon Redshift.

Actually CitusDB, which we also produce, does distribute data and queries across a PostgreSQL cluster. You can see some performance comparisons of using cstore_fdw on CitusDB in the blog post and the performance improvements are even more significant there.
