Revert "Parallelize template rendering"

This reverts commit 1ad71592ad.

Since it had no limit on the number on concurrent processes it OOM killed
instances while rendering hellthreads. When I tried introducing a
concurrency limit with Task.async_stream/manual folds it lead to about 3 times
worse performance on threads larger than 1000 activities (we are talking
30s vs 1.2 minutes), I think this is not worth the about 1.5 times
performance increase on smaller threads when using it.
