    Sure but I think we're getting pedantic here. The problem is really simple - a
    uniprocessor HT desktop booted in SMP mode feels half the speed while running
    setiathome (or video encoding or whatever cpu bound task) compared to booting
    it in UP mode. So, ironically, enabling the HT makes the machine feel slower
    when running multiple tasks. And there will be a heck of a lot of these in
    the future.
