Am sure we would get better results if we are able to tune the guidePosts width so that instead of fetching in the range of 1000s inside a region we can fetch 10ks of result in every chunk.  Also should work with bigger tables and more rows.
The tests were performed with 256*1024 and 1024 * 1024 as the guidepostsWidth size. 
The main thing you can observe in the above case is that the query targetted to single region is parallelized and distributed to smaller chunks and so the work done by every thread is less. 
In the test case I got some issue with this. Hence changed it. Let me see if not needed will revert it.
