If it were possible in light of the issues on client parse / convert, then
we should analyze whether it's a performance win.

In the restore case, where we've got a dedicated server with a dedicated
client machine, I don't see why there would be a speed benefit from running
the same parse / convert code on the client versus running it on the server.
Imagine a pipeline where there is a bottleneck, moving the bottleneck to a
different machine doesn't make it less of a bottleneck.
