Description

Surprisingly I found there's almost no documentation for the usage of lib.num_threads() or environment variables in the quick start or user guide (I've searched "thread" and "openmp"). Although this is common knowledge for experienced pyscf users, I believe there should be a few words for multi-thread instructions for starters.

Research direction

Start by locating the quick start and user guide pages, then search them for existing references to lib.num_threads(), thread, and openmp. Done means the documentation explains multi-thread usage and relevant environment variables clearly for starters in the affected guide sections.
