A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: receiving a data process that includes a plurality of sub-processes. A unique subset of the sub-processes is assigned to each of: a managing thread, and at least one other thread. Moreover, performance characteristics of each of the threads is evaluated while the respective subsets of sub-processes are being performed, and a determination is made as to whether the performance characteristics of each of the threads are substantially equal to the performance characteristics of each of the other threads. In response to determining that performance characteristics of each of the threads are not substantially equal, the subsets of the sub-processes are dynamically adjusted such that the performance characteristics of each of the threads become more equal. Moreover, the adjusted subsets of the sub-processes are reassigned to each of the managing thread and at least one other thread.
