Actually I/O subsystems are smart enough these days that this
might be a sensible thing to do. It would distribute to multiple
disks without much affecting the single-disk case.
Over on the git list, Linus Torvalds just implemented naïvely
threaded `stat`ing for certain cases in `git log` and `git diff`,
and people with git repositories on NFS filesystems reported
3–6-fold speedups of these commands, without the local case being
adversely affected.
