Each of these messages is for a different substitute query.  We are
currently not showing the query, so it looks like the same work is done
multiple times.

The substitute queries are executed at different times.  Coalescing the
messages would mean that the messages for previous queries are delayed
until the last query is performed.  This would not be good.

I don’t know if we can reorder the queries so that they all happen at
once.
