Answer
Uses global + per-thread queues, work-stealing, and hill-climbing algorithm to adjust worker count.
Long-running work should use TaskCreationOptions.LongRunning.
Quick Answer
The ThreadPool maintains a global queue and per-thread local queues. Threads steal work from each other when idle. A hill-climbing algorithm adjusts the thread count based on throughput measurements. For long-running work (> 0.5s), use TaskCreationOptions.LongRunning to get a dedicated thread instead.
