What happens if you either:
1. disable HT in the bios

Intel says i5-2400 has no HT:
Processor Number i5-2400
# of Cores 4
# of Threads 4

and BIOS has no HT disable knob

Ahh yes of course.


2. limit the threads to 4?

ffmpeg -threads 4 (sched_ule):

real 3m19.379s (with -threads 0 was 2m52.711s)
user 6m50.107s (with -threads 0 was 6m50.310s)
sys 0m1.507s

That seems to be using 6 threads not 4, what about -threads 2?
