Quoting http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/MapReduce#MapReduce-Parallelism

As of right now, MapReduce jobs on a single mongod process are single threaded

Without parallelism, what are the benefits of MapReduce compared to simpler or more traditional methods for queries and data aggregation?

To avoid confusion: the question is NOT "what are the benefits of document-oriented DB over traditional relational DB"
