Well, not really, because implementing a batch mode is more work than letting xargs or GNU Parallel or Make handle the multiprocessing for the "many files" case

Well, not really, because implementing a batch mode is more work than letting xargs or GNU Parallel or Make handle the multiprocessing for the "many files" case.
Parallelizing the algorithm helps in the "single file" case, which is still important.
