Yes, -P 4 will speed up the process by ~4 times on a Pi.

That's certainly a corner case, and if you just rip your CDs or buy some
digital download, it won't affect you.
For me, there are two scenarios where this can happen:
- Replacing a downloaded album with a higher quality version of itself
(Example: 'this'
(https://archive.org/details/GYBE2018-05-23.losangeles.aud.flac16) vs.
'this'
(https://archive.org/details/GYBE2018-05-23.losangeles.aud.flac24))
- Replacing a downloaded live album with a different recording of the
concert  (Example: 'this'
(https://archive.org/details/gybe2018-03-18.AT853.flac1644) vs. 'this'
(https://archive.org/details/gybe2018-03-18.CM3.flac1644))

While the probability of this happening may be low, it's just one line
of Python code to copy the attributes from the original to the
transcoded file.
