+Enhanced Thread Pool Timeout Control
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+Starting in MongoDB 5.0, you can use the new
+:parameter:`replWriterMinThreadCount` server parameter to configure the
+timeout of idle threads in the thread pool for parallel execution of
+replication operations. When :parameter:`replWriterMinThreadCount` is
