Description
Describe the feature
Build entries are independent and could be processed concurrently.
Probably it only makes sense for larger projects with lots of entries where isolatedDeclarations can't be used for declarations emit, since spawning a child process can be slower than processing everything in one go.
Workers could be spawned for each entry (limited by CPU core count), and optionally the main thread could also be used for the largest entry.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how build entries are scheduled and how declaration emit handles isolatedDeclarations; define the worker-limit and main-thread behavior before implementing. Done means independent entries can build concurrently without changing output, while small projects avoid unnecessary process overhead.
