TOPCAT and STILTS are mature Java desktop applications for working with tabular data that have always had a focus on efficiency for large or very large data sets. This paper presents some progress, experience and lessons learned from efforts over recent years to improve performance further by multithreading key algorithms as well as other strategies.
