i know this is a controversial topic but I dont' have a definitive answer.
it would seem that using hyperthreading enabled CPUs, one would get slightly better performance from threaded applications such as FreeRadius. the underlying operating systems are freebsd 4.7+ and 5.3 (there was no support for HTT beofre 4.7). however, there are those that recommend that HTT is not enabled as it reduces either/both stability and performance. can anyone shed light / experience on this matter? my own expts have shown that performance seems to degrade when enabling the OS schedular to use the second logical CPU (ie suppressing the second cpu halting sysctl). tariq - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
