I suspect not many apps are going to have a complete list of files
they know they'll need a priori. A live profiler tends to find out
about target files gradually. A debugger uses debuginfo to help
enumerate other debuginfo. DWZ files can only be even known of when
the base DWARF file is fetched. So yeah I'm not sure there exists a
widespread general problem for which multithreading is not a workable
solution.
