The query returns 6600 threads. I'm getting 2 seconds wall clock time.

Yeah, the "batch script" that the above search+sed creates and pipes
into "notmuch tag --batch" is 265K, but it only takes 0.5 seconds to
execute. My understanding is that "notmuch tag" is smart enough to do
no work if the tag is already present on a message, so the only changes
happening in the database are actually for new stuff.
