As of v3.0, its ExifToolOptions.maxProcs is set to 1/4 the number of
CPUs on the current system; no more than maxProcs instances of exiftool
will be spawned. You may want to experiment with smaller or larger values for
maxProcs, depending on CPU and disk speed of your system and performance
tradeoffs.
Note that each child process consumes between 10 and 50 MB of RAM. If you
have limited system resources you may want to use a smaller maxProcs value.
See the source of DefaultExifToolOptions for more details about how
this instance is configured.
