Using `ffprobe -show_streams -print_format json` for a lot of files
(1000+) is quite slow compared to `exiftool` which seems almost
instantaneous.
Is this because A) the probing code has optimisation potential, or B)
mostly because of the overhead because `ffprobe` doesn't support multiple
files per run, ie. you can't do `find . -type f -exec ffprobe {} +`.
Please clarify A or B, but also regardless, is there any reason why
`ffprobe` shouldn't support multiple files?
ffprobe 4.0.2 on macOS
