If your tasks are large enough to dominate, then the non-scalability of the goroutine scheduler and the network stack won’t be an issue. For example, if your task is compressing some huge hunk of a video and it takes a second to do it, then it will scale fine. Then again, you can get this scalability from anything, including `xargs`.
