Great, how much faster was this multithreaded version for a real use case?

That afternoon effort on the hot loops netted ~3x improvement on the test suite on an 8 core machine. The test suite is intentionally minimal, so I'd say that represents a reasonable low bound. The greater the number of polygons in an operation, the more it would benefit.
