Hi all,

Just as an FYI to the group, the following article is new at 2CPU.com:

Linux 2.6 and Hyper-Threading 
http://www.2cpu.com/articles/ht_linux/

The final paragraph:

"The final word on Linux and hyper-threading? While the majority of
benchmarks we've looked at here today have shown improvements, it's
still important that you do your own testing with the applications you
use on a daily basis. On the surface, HT certainly looks promising but
it's clear that there are still situations out there where HT is going
to negatively impact the performance of an application. Before rolling
out those new workstations or servers, do your own testing in
pre-production to find out what hyper-threading can do for you."


Enjoy,

Marc Schwartz
