Additional Information

This issue is fixed in ArcGIS Pro 3.7. Starting local workers for parallel processing introduces some overhead and requires time to initialize. For smaller datasets, using 100% of the parallel processing capacity is not optimal, as the startup cost can outweigh the performance benefits.
