On the one hand, HT has been shown by this and other sites across the ‘Net to grant large performance increases in certain applications—but, unfortunately, such performance gains are not guaranteed. Certain applications and performance situations have shown no gain with Hyper Threading activated and some have shown a marked decrease. This article will discuss several system variables we’ve found can impact Hyper Threading performance as well as examining the impact HT has on several popular distributed computing clients.
