### Batch mode
Starting the perl version of ExifTool is expensive, and is _especially_
expensive on the Windows version of ExifTool.
On Windows, for **every invocation**, `exiftool` _installs a distribution of
Perl **and** extracts the ~1000 files that make up ExifTool_, and **then** runs
the perl script. Windows virus scanners prevent reads on these files while they
are scanned, which makes this approach even more costly.
Using ExifTool's `-stay_open` batch mode means we can reuse a single
instance of ExifTool across many requests, dropping response latency
dramatically as well as reducing system load.
