I saw the equivalent of 1.8 CPUs with that load. other standard tests have however showed a solid decrease in performance in enabling hyperthreading. Linux machines we have tested also managed to not get any real advantage from Hyperthreading hoever they somehow managed to at least avoid the DECREASE with special scheduling code.. Our answer has been to keep HTT turned off unless the workload can use it. In this case "We/our" refers to FreeBSD developers chatting on IRC.Received on Tue Sep 28 2004 - 08:45:14 UTC
