Turns out I didn't need to add instrumentation.  Simply forcing
nbdcopy to use at most 1 request per connection (-R 1) recovers all
the performance.

$ time ./nbdkit -r -U - curl file:/var/tmp/big --run 'nbdcopy --no-extents -R 1 
-p "$uri" null:'  

I still have no good idea how to solve this.  Somehow I had to adjust
the libcurl handle pool so that it isn't first-come first-served, but
prefers to spread available handles across connections.
