I am not going to work on it myself, but I think the only possible
parallelism would come from making the reading for F(n+1) and
subsequent objects overlap writing of F(n), given a deterministic
order of files in the resulting archive.  When we decide which file
should come first, and learns that it is F(0), it probably comes the
tree object of the root level, and it is very likely that we would
already know what F(1) and F(2) are by that time, so it should be
possible to dispatch reading and applying content filtering on F(1)
and keeping the result in core, while we are still writing F(0) out.

Thanks.
