I have local aliases to use GNU parallel for stuff like this, on my
git.git which has accumulated 17 remotes:
$ time parallel -j1 'git fetch {}' ::: $(git remote)
real 0m18.265s
$ time parallel -j8 'git fetch {}' ::: $(git remote)
real 0m2.957s
In that case I didn't have any new objects to fetch, but just doing
the negotiation in parallel was a lot faster.
So there's big wins in some cases.
