Answer
ThreadPool uses global/per-thread queues, work stealing, and hill-climbing to adjust worker counts. Long-running tasks should use LongRunning to avoid blocking worker threads.
Quick Answer
The ThreadPool maintains a global work-stealing queue and per-thread local queues. Threads steal from each other when idle. A hill-climbing algorithm adjusts thread count based on throughput (measured every ~15ms). For long-running CPU work (> ~500ms), use TaskCreationOptions.LongRunning to get a dedicated non-pool thread.
