This script moves objects between S3 prefixes with multithreading and pattern filtering.
Added functionality to track sample moves that match a specified pattern. Enhanced argument validation and updated the display of sample moves in the dry-run preview.

I don't know how much of a difference this makes here because you've got external multi threading but boto3 has a few options that make it a bit quicker like https://github.com/CIROH-UA/NGIAB_data_preprocess/blob/main/modules%2Fdata_sources%2Fsource_validation.py#L102 https://github.com/CIROH-UA/NGIAB_data_preprocess/blob/main/modules%2Fdata_sources%2Fsource_validation.py#L66
There's another one called something like max_queue that I've got set to 10,000 in my .aws/config which makes aws s3 sync run a lot smoother but I've not tried it in python.
