The dataflow refresh history allows you to see the execution times by table including start and end time. You can clearly see that tables are executed sequentially. I have not found any option which allows you to execute in parallel as you can with a dataset. Hopefully, this is something the Microsoft Power BI team will address. They are being "tight-lipped" which means they probably know about it but do not now how to address it.
