I'd be of no help about this stuff. Just surprised there was already some
code worked in for Pentium 4 already since I thought it was only up to PIII.

This concept had me remembering when I discussed data compression with my
Dad who worked at Boeing Aerospace at the time before I knew there might
already be such things being done. He said there was, this was mid-80's and
I hadn't read about such things yet and not being in the software business I
couldn't have known much. But I had envisioned on my own a scheme whereby
ASCII character changes would be related to the last and every new layer of
data overlaid onto the last. I was using a floppy-based computer at the
time, no HDD so it was a natural thing to think about.

Anyway, I was thinking maybe this Hyperthreading might be a similar thing.
From what I read at that web site about it though, looks more like a buffer
exchange system.  Hey, I'm not technically knowledgeable so please forgive
my ignorance. Thanks. :-)

Anyway, if it is not a kind of compressed data thing then is there a reason
that wouldn't be good? Maybe too much overhead to be tracking it?
