I read some articles how this can affect security. How does it affect performance in FreeBSD? What are your experiences/recommendations? Which (kind of) applications do benefit from hyper-threading?
Carpetsmoker said:HyperThreading should preform better when you have multiple applications running, in a typical Windows environment you often have quite a bit of stuff running in the background, and HT should really help in those cases -- At least, this is what our Intel rep told me during the i7 briefing.
