+Additionally, there's a commandline argument that can be set to change the default level of
+concurrency for the migration. pict-rs will attempt to migrate 32 hashes at a time, but for large
+deployments, it may be worth trying to increase this value. Setting it to 128, 256, or even 512

 The command will look something like this:
 ```bash

     migrate-store \
+        --concurrency 32 \
     filesystem \
         -p /path/to/files \
