It probably is not a problem to leave hyperthreading on: we found little
performance difference on a P4 either way.
The Windows task manager is misleading, as `50%' is about as much as a
P4-class processor with hyperthreading can actually deliver.

If you have hyperthreading, R catches only one virtual processor (fromtwo
available), being not able to exceed half of total power (100% ofone only). If
you want to use full power, you should turn hyperthreadingoff, if your BIOS
supports such option.
