Description
I'd like to use this extension to handle mail queue, but because each job is processed separately, this becomes really slow if I send emails by SMTP (each job negotiates its own connection). Can we introduce something like BatchJobInterface that will allow executing multiple jobs at once? There are many situations when batch processing may improve performance a lot.

Research direction
Start by examining the extension’s current per-job execution flow and how its supported queue drivers handle jobs. Use the proposed BatchJobInterface and the mail-queue/SMTP use case to define what batch execution should cover, then verify that multiple jobs can share processing without a separate connection for each job.
