Teradata connector Vs Teradata enterprise stage

[Chandrathdsx]

I have a job to read from teradata and write into a dataset.
This job is performing much better if I use enterprise stage instead of connector stage.
I am not using bulk option. But, enterprise stage is getting 8 processes where as connector stage using only one process.
Both jobs (connector and enterprise stages) use 8 node config.

Could you please let me know: does enterprise stage is better than connector stage when bulk/utility is not used?
Is there anyway to get more processes/sessions while using the connector stage?
When I use Bulk option in connector, I am getting limit settings enabled to mention max sessions. But, in Immediate access method, it is not behaving similar to enterprise stage.

The TPT stage in immediate mode is recommended for small chunks of data as it commits on every few hundered rows which makes it a bit slower than the bulk mode stage. The enterprise stage on the other hand uses bulk fast load with multiple instances which gives a high rate for loading data and hence improved performace as compared to the connector stage.
