Indeed -- and I suspect there are other cases of low-hanging fruit.  (In
the case of lint, it was literally a matter of resizing a hash table.)  So
before we get too obsessed with .PARALLEL and other ways to spread out the
cycles needed by the build, we need to dig into whether those cycles need
to be spent in the first place.
