Currently single threaded programs, or programs that haven't yet started additional threads? I suppose the former is more correct, but maybe the latter is easier to follow?

But just a suggestion... If you don't like it, I'm good with what's here.

"currently" reads somewhat strangely to me too. Maybe something like "in a single-threaded context" or "before additional threads (if any) are started"?

In any case like @imp I think it's better to have something here so up to you.

"single-threaded context" sounds nice. I'll use that one.
