Usually the most time-consuming step in most commands is walking through each position in the alignment for each contig, or fetching alignments to a contig. It would be nice to be able to literally run multiple commands at once (e.g. create smoothed/virtual reads while creating link graphs), since in theory this reduces the amount of runtime needed significantly.
The obvious problem with this is that it's a lot of work (parallelization should get us similar-ish? results for probably less effort). It would be so much work to do this that I doubt this will ever get done for this project, but I'm making a note here just in case.
