While parallel queries is an area of ongoing work, I do not believe that
a single connection can currently use more than a single core. You
could experiment with turning your 4000x4000 comparisons into 4 queries
doing 2000x2000 comparison (assuming you have 4 cores available to the
VM, the more cores, the more cores you could split it up) (just remember
to use async for each of those so you don't execute them in serial!).
