- ``ThreadPool`` now respects the value of ``OMP_NUM_THREADS`` environment variable (documented in [gcc](https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libgomp/OMP_005fNUM_005fTHREADS.html))
- Improved parallel scaling of :ref:`MDNormSCD <algm-MDNormSCD>` with > 4 cores.
- Reduced execution time of ``EventList::sortTof`` by over 2x, improving performance in algorithms such as :ref:`algm-CompressEvents` and :ref:`algm-SortEvents` which call it.
- :ref:`LoadNexusProcessed <algm-LoadNexusProcessed>` is now approximately 33x faster when loading a ``PeaksWorkspace`` with a large instrument attached.
