Collector for the fastest minor gc

In the "Fundamentals of JVM tuning" talk by Charlie Hunt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4joWshvFJnw&noredirect=1

The slide at 10:06 asserts that: "Parallel GC offers the fastest minor GC times". However the talk doesnt explain why this is.

It might be obvious, but nonetheless I would appreciate any reasoning/proof backing up the above statement.

While the serial GC uses only one thread to process a GC, the parallel GC uses several threads to process a GC, and therefore, faster. This GC is useful when there is enough memory and a large number of cores.
