trufflehog git concurrency does not work as expected

[yang0369]

I am trying to speed up the trufflehog git scan with this "--concurrency" arg. After some trials, it does not look very right.

As shown, it takes 14s when concurrency=1 while 15s when concurrency=8 (given my desktop has 8 cores), which contradicts with common sense. Could someone shed some light on this please? Thanks.

Anyone can help with this? As I am testing with trufflehog git repo, so it can be easily replicated with the below code:

trufflehog git --json --concurrency=8 https://github.com/trufflesecurity/trufflehog.git --max-depth=6 --no-verification
trufflehog git --json --concurrency=1 https://github.com/trufflesecurity/trufflehog.git --max-depth=6 --no-verification

all the ideas are welcomed and much appreciated!
