Hi list

I have a server with SMP and the CPUs support HyperThreading. I can start domU 
on cpu = 0, cpu = 1, cpu = 2 and cpu =3.

I read that there's basic support for HyperThreading, what does this mean?

And how is performance on 0,1,2 and 3 with HyperThreading compared to 
non-HyperThreading CPUs 0 and 1? Is 2 weaker than a non-HyperThreading 0?

Would it better to disable HyperThreading with noht as boot option?
