+### Parallel Performance
+
+The multiproof prover now uses Rayon parallelization for large batches (>100 grouped queries). For batches of 16K+ queries, expect 4-8x speedup on multi-core systems. The parallel threshold of 100 queries balances parallelization overhead against performance gains. You can control the number of threads using the `RAYON_NUM_THREADS` environment variable.
