Parallelizing definitely does help.  Still, even if we got local-like
performance with 10 clients running and the server completely handled
that load without slowing down any of the clients, we're still looking
at over 6 months of continuous upload.

I think a different approach is needed.

I'm planning to explore the ruby code a bit more to see how it interacts
with the database.
