Linux doesn't realise that scheduling a process onto one virtual CPU
reduces the performance available on the other. There can be some
quite bizarre scheduling decisions made as a result that can slow
things down. On the other hand, for some tasks, it might not cause
problems and thus you'll get a boost.

As ever, the answer is to benchmark your configuration with and
without HT to see. There's no simple answer.
