I think if you did that, the synchronization overhead would certainly be too
high. You'd be starting a thread to process each node in the source tree.
The general approach is sound, but it needs to be applied more
discriminatingly.

Also, it doesn't tackle the challenge of doing the transformation in
parallel with the parsing, tree building, and serialization.
