AFAICT from a quick look at the code, you won't get any meaningful
parallelism unless you have several large DBs and/or several large
tablespaces. It looks like the assumption was that issuing link()
requests in parallel wouldn't help much but just swamp your disk
if they're all on the same filesystem. Maybe that could use
rethinking, not sure.
