-NOTES ON THREADS
-----------------
-
-The `--threads` option (and the grep.threads configuration) will be ignored when
-`--open-files-in-pager` is used, forcing a single-threaded execution.
-
-When grepping the object store (with `--cached` or giving tree objects), running
-with multiple threads might perform slower than single threaded if `--textconv`
-is given and there're too many text conversions. So if you experience low
-performance in this case, it might be desirable to use `--threads=1`.
