Is your feature request related to a problem?

Hi,

I added multicore support to PoB to make it give atlas node filter results quite a bit faster.

Sent my Discord handle to localidentity on Reddit. I'm quite a starter when it comes to Github.

Feel free to delete this if (or not) after contacting me.

All the best,

Al

Describe the solution you'd like

Single-core processing to multi-core, improving node/item filter speed considerably.

Research direction

The issue does not identify files, tests, or processing entry points. Start by locating the atlas node and item filter processing and establish a single-core performance baseline; done would require an agreed multicore design, measured speed improvement, and regression coverage.
