there is no hard-proof disabling HT is any better than using it.. pure
speculation.
what might seem to run better for one might not for another.

Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] help how do i get the servers in linux to use
both cpus
im runnig a p4 3.2 ht in top i see 2 cpu's only one is
doing the work ! so how can i force it to use cpu 1 and 0
HT doens NOT equal two CPU's. Think of it more as CPU
resources A and B. HLDS likes lots of A and bugger all of
B, so forcing it to use B is probably a poor idea.
Its not up to hlds... Its how the OS, or rather the SMP code in the
kernel, is managing to use the two virtual cpu's. Apperently there is
some
tools in some distributions where you can set a process to a certain
virtual cpu. And sometimes its not that specify a cpu for a process.
Dunno
which dists that have those tools.
and on a proper SMP machine doing this might have some small benefit.
HT is not SMP, he does NOT have two CPU's and he cannot run twice as many
HLDS processes.
HT is a good way of offloading other system processes, and confusing newbs
into thinking their box is only at half the utilization it actually is.
