I can confirm that a new emacs process is getting created to run each batch mode
command.  I don't really understand the emacs-client/emacs-server setup is
supposed to work.  So I guess my question is whether my batch-mode command can
be made as a client of the existing emacs-server.  I'm guessing the answer is
'No', but if so maybe there's some other way to speed up creation of the new
emacs process when it's used solely to process an Org source-code-block?
