Hello @pradeep,

For optimal threading,

- Use the latest release of ITK, currently [ITK 5.0 Beta 1](https://discourse.itk.org/t/itk-5-0-beta-1-pythonic-interface/1271)
- Enable TBB (Intel Thread Building Blocks) support in your build. Even without this, the default thread pool and thread use has been improved dramatically since ITK 4.

HTH,  
Matt
